King Abdullah of Jordan is heading up a group of regional leaders to "restart Arab-Israel peace efforts". He and President Obama are in agreement that Israel must create a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, first and foremost before any discussion of dealing with Iran is tabled. Also, the 23 Arab League members would offer Israel relations in exchange for Israel's withdrawal from 1967 War land won in the conflict. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is standing firm on his commitment to Israel's soveriegnty and statehood and refuses to even remotely discuss Palestinian statehood, withdrawal from 1967 land or dismantling checkpoints. He is working to expand Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem as well. Recently, even the Pope chimed in during a visit to Israel in which he asked the Prime Minister to immediately make plans to establish a Palestinian state. The pressure from the Muslim world, President Obama and the Vatican is building to a fever pitch--either commit to a two-state solution, or....? I know Mr. Netanyahu won't budge--God bless him for that!-- so just what will the Obama administration, the Muslim nations and the Pope threaten to do about it? Cut off relations? Or is this a prelude to war?

The king would do better trying to get a promise out of the
palestinians, something we haven’t seen in fifty years.
At least one that they kept.

How about if Jordan volunteers to give up a good percent of her land for this “Palestinian State”?

Israel already accepts a palestinian state on its eastern border. It’s called Jordan.

Look up “black thursday” I think it’s called.
the little king had to slaughter thousands when the
ones he had let in tried to take over his country.

The problem here is the Palestinians don’t want statehood!
If they were a state and attacked Israel they could be
conquered for good with no questions asked.
They prefer to snipe.

That's great, a Two-State Solution, Israel and Jordan.

Most of the "Palestinians" are Jordanians anyway. Welcome home terrorists.

King Abdullah forgets his history, or chooses to ignore it. There once was a two-state solution that gave a homeland to the Palestinians. It arose with the partition of Trans-Jordan when Israel became independent. The Palestinian homeland was Jordan. Abdullah’s great-grandfather, was first Emir of Trans-Jordan, and later Abdullah I of Jordan.

Exactly, dirty little secret, there are tens of thousands of Muslims who live in Israel side by side with Jews and the Palestinians hate them just as much..

I thought there were already there when they elected a large Hamas majority to the "Palestinian" parliament, and then began to fire rockets into Israel.

“He and President Obama are in agreement that Israel must create a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, first and foremost before any discussion of dealing with Iran is tabled.”

Why? Why doesn’t the Palestinians just go back to Jordan? That’s their homeland, not Israel.

Both products of Muslims + silly western women who were divorced by their muslim husbands. Why force on a national (international) scale what couldn't work under one roof? Must be the same dynamic as the crazy people who seek work at the mental wards in order to work out their own mental problems.

“a sweeping resolution of the Muslim world’s conflicts with Israel”.

The conflict is not over land; it’s because Israel is Jewish and doesn’t wish to be muslim.

It’s the same problem muslims have with all ‘infidels’...

Black September. Arafat and the boys, minus 5,000 or so, relocated to Lebanon and trashed that country. And the King’s grandpop was killed by terrorists on the Temple Mount in the late 40s.

Not tens of thousand, about 1.2 million. In percentatges Israel's Muslim population is larger than America's non-Christian population. And unlike the US Israel has an official language, actually 2, Hebrew and Arabic. We shouldn't be going there.

The King is having the best time in the day of Obama. I'm not sure anyone pays attention to him, but he has a nice looking wife too. And lots of medals. BHO needs some medals.
