UN & NYT make bad choice burying Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

Friedman warns:

But before we become too pessimistic, let us remember that these choices are just that: choices. There was nothing inevitable or foreordained about them. People and leaders always have agency - and as observers we must never fall prey to the cowardly and dishonest "well, they had no choice" crowd.

Both NYT and the UN had choices other than burying HKOPS for 16 months that may have prevented October 7 and the Israel-Gaza war occurring:

• The NYT: By publishing the existence of HKOPS in news reports, op-eds and analysis from its large team of reporters, investigative journalists, and expert commentators
• The UN: by acknowledging the existence of HKOPS as an alternative ground-breaking solution to the creation of an independent Palestinian State between Israel and Jordan – HKOPS calling instead for the merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) into one territorial entity to be named "The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine"

Burying HKOPS pre 7 October still remains unrectified by the UN and NYT post 7 October.

The sooner the UN and NYT choose to call for Jordan-Israel negotiations to implement HKOPS – excluding Gaza - the better.
