Trump Deal of the Century meets Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

HKOPS – contrary to Trump's Proposal – calls for the merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of the West Bank into one new Hashemite-governed territorial entity to be called "The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine".

I contacted Shihabi in 2022 and we collaborated to publish an article which detailed these major features of HKOPS:

• It would supersede two previous Saudi peace proposals in 1981 and 2002 calling for Israel to withdraw completely from the West Bank
• The two-state solution – the creation of a separate Palestinian Arab State between Jordan and Israel – promoted unsuccessfully by the United Nations for the previous 29 years – would be consigned to the diplomatic graveyard
• Amman – not Jerusalem – would be the capital of The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine
• The right of return to Israel would be abandoned.
• Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and stateless refugees would get full citizenship in the merged Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine with all the elements of sovereignty applicable to those Territories that belonging to a fully recognized state in the UN entail.

Shihabi has inexplicably refused to communicate with me since then and has blocked my access to his X page.

The United Nations, the international media and think tanks have ignored HKOPS. They have some explaining to do.

The Trump Proposal and HKOPS are destined to miraculously cross paths once again in 2025 – hopefully working together this time to end over 100 years of unresolved conflict between Arabs and Jews.
