I think I've been informed enough I've since figured out why I thought this. It was decades ago and than this tidbit ...

>b?Suha Arafat is the widow of former Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat. Suha was born in Jerusalem on 17 July 1963 into an affluent Roman Catholic family who lived in Nablus and then Ramallah. Suha's father Daoud Tawil, an Oxford-educated banker, was born in Jaffa. Daoud Tawil had business both in the West Bank and Jordan.

The Arabs are coming to realize that their worst enemy is Iran...not Israel.

Saudi Arabia realized that a long time ago. They have been allies with Israel, but they don’t like to advertise it. Mostly to their own people and neighbors.

There is a sick truth to the “Palestinian” political plight.

It was not created by Israel.

It was created by Britain.

Most Arabs of “Palestine” were robbed of direct political “self-determination” when Britain handed most of the British Mandate of Palestine - the Trans-Jordan directly and control of the West Bank - over to an Arab client they wanted to support, by “gifting” him the “Kingdom of Jordan”. Jordan was and is quite factually, the 2nd state of of any “two state” solution.

In 1950 Jordan formally annexed the West Bank and declared it’s Arab residents citizens of Jordan. Britain and Britain alone recognized that act, and because of it, the King of Jordan and “Palestinian” “Arab nationalists” - a coalition led by Arafat - were eventually in a civil war (1970-71), which Arafat lost. Although Jordan lost control of the West Bank in 1967, he did not rescind it’s own act of annexing the area until 1988, at which time it also ended Jordanian citizenship for the residents there.

Although it was Britain’s error to gift the Kingdom of Jordan to Abdullah, once it was a fait acompli, and Jordan formally annexed the West Bank, it was the world’s error in not recognizing the fulfillment of the “two state solution” - one “Arab state” plus Israel. Geopolitics, plus the Soviet Union and international socialism’s world-wide propaganda help lead the world to prefer Arafat and his terrorists over logic and reason, and the world rejected the fulfilling role in the “two-state solution” that Jordan had become, by default.

Jordan and Israel have a peace treaty today.

Now Jordan needs to work out out how to keep and honor that treaty and integrate the west bank formally back into Jordan politically. It should be done by mutual agreement and arrangement between Israel and Jordan, with a defined period of joint security over the West Bank.

Egypt and Israel should make similar arrangements over Gaza.

“While Erdogan convened the OIC summit to condemn Trump’s announcement, notably the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates chose not to attend, with the Saudis sending only a junior minister. Attendance from Muslim countries in Africa and central Asia was similarly patchy. Significantly, the summit, while recognising east Jerusalem as Palestine’s capital, also effectively implied the OIC accepts Israel’s capital will be in the city’s west.”

I would love to know what Trump had to say to the various Saudi and other ME leaders he met with on that trip.
