A petty Jordanian king caused a furor in international media by arguing for the hundredth time that Israel’s failure to accept Palestinian demands (he calls it “peace”) will drive the region to a major conflict.
What is bad for Abdullah is not necessarily bad for the Jews. Abdullah understands that the PLO’s failure to exact a state from Israel would drive the Palestinians to claim Jordan as their state. Palestinians constitute ¾ of the Jordanian population.
Israel, on the other hand, would be happy for the Palestinians to make their state in Jordan, as that would reduce the peace process to a border dispute.
Pompus, Pompus. Nah!
He shames his father by his very existance.
