Let me guess. The short king offered a brown bag load of money in exchange for Abbas not to ask him to hand over Jordan. Yeah! Very clever.

So the King will allow, indeed, request, that all Palestinians move to Jordan, their true homeland. Nice of the King to finally admit it! Just say it to make it true: Jordan is Palestine, Jordan is Palestine...

why don't "palestine" and "jordan"- both made states made up by European imperialists. Why not just have one arab state east of Israel that would divide the West Bank between Israel and itself. that would be a just, lasting solution to the conflict!

Abbas wants to a right of return for 200,000 Kerry is pushing him to accept 80,000 which is what that idiot Barak offered at Camp David. Jordan & Abbas join forces and Abbas has the support he needs to be uncompromising & dictate terms to Kerry Abdullah will bow to every single demand Abbas makes no matter how small and trivial because 80% of his subjects are descendants of refugees from 1948 and he doesn't want to be the next victim of the arab winter so he needs to keep them happy. The left in Israel will say if we don't give Abbas what he wants we endanger the treaty with Jordan to scare people. Kerry won't say no to Jordan because he afraid to damage US / Jordan relations so if Abdullah supports Abbas Kerry is more likely to accept his demands. This is a very smart move by Abbas.

If expansionist ambitions hadn't got the better of Abdullah's great grandfather and father after TransJordan illegally occupied and annexed the West Bank there could have been the very Palestinian Arab State that the PA is now demanding. Jordan had 19 years from 1948 to 1967 to found that state but made no attempt to do so.So which country has been the Palestinian Arab's worst enemy? Unlike Jordan,Israel has been honest and has International Law to support its claims. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

Wikipedia is downplaying the fighting as "civil war".!! It was not, the people of Arafath was kindly invited to stay in Jordan by the king. But Arafath and his people created a revolt and tried to take control, a terror control, over the country. It was not a civil war by definition. The pals terror-forces, coming from the pals terror-bases in Tunis, tried to overturn the kingdom, and more than a thousand terrorists were killed. The main terrorist himself, Arafath, had to flee with his gang to Lebanon.

out to Tunis where they dwelled until Rabin and Peres with the push from Billy Clinton They then returned to the land how known as Israel,where they again raised havoch and their next stop will be Heaven where 72 thousand virgins will be awaiting them.
