The Palestinian Birth Produces Jordanian Worries
The King Abdullah of the Jordan was very anxious this week as it tried to finish any discussion of the Jordan of role will have finally the game in to finish the dead end caused by the while awaiting the end of president Bush road Map to create a new Arabic state between Israel and Jordan.
Emptied in top by a non confirmed report that the candidate John McCain republican apparent wanted to declare the Kingdom of Jordan as the Palestinian State, the King Abdullah gave a discussion to the Lebanese newspaper As -Safir in which it proclaimed provocamment:
"This country is here to remain. The Jordan is Jordan and Palestine is Palestinian"
The attempt shorthand of Abdullah to deny that the future of the West Bank has something to see with the flies of Jordan in front of the history, geography and the demography of Jordan and the West Bank and the strong ones attach that secure these two masses of earth and their Arabic populations.
L'arria¨re-grand-pa¨re of the king Abdullah - the last the King Abdullah I - and also his own father - the last the King Hussein - had said exactly the opposite to justify Jordan 'the occupation of s of the West Bank.
The king Abdullah 1 had underlined the territorial connection between Jordan and the West Bank while addressing a meeting of the Arabic League to Cairo on April 12 1948:
"The Palestine and Transjordan (called now Jordan - the author) the one are, for Palestine is the coastal one and Transjordan the arria¨re-pays of the same country".
The king Hussein had expressed the family connections between their respective Arabic populations in the National Jordanian Assembly on the 2 fevrier 1972:
"There is not family on the Bank of the East of the River (Jordan) that has not parents on the West Bank - no family in the West that has not branches in the East"
Marwan Al Hamoud, the member of the Jordanian National Minister More consultative, More municipal and older of Farming said the newspaper Al Ray political Jordanian on September 24 1980:
"The Jordan is not another Arabic State in the matter of Palestine, but rather, Jordan is Palestinian and Palestine is Jordan from the viewpoint of the territory, the national identity, suffers, the hopes and the aspirations, the day and the night".
The attempt of the king Abdullah to rewrite the history reserves this week was driven by his deep worry to foil the movement possible by the Liberation Organization Palestinian (the PLO) or no other groups as the Moslem Brotherhood to reverse the King and supposes that the following check to Jordan the inevitable failure and the fine not very conclusive one of the negotiations of road Map.
The PLO had tried to reverse the father of the King Abdullah in 1970 of in Jordan - but was directed and was hunted to Lebanon. The thought that another blow of state probably could be contemplated territory less than a unity of the hour far of the palace of Abdullah never was at removed Amman of the think about Hashemite - especially since the Arabic League did the PLO only the spokesperson for the Palestinian Arabs in 1974 instead of Jordan.
This unique decision is revealed a monumental error and did not bring anything but the immense misery and suffering for the Arabic populations besieged West Bank and of Gassed.
The King hangs now suspended in in the middle of the flight by a wire. There is not realistic exit to with conclusive success the negotiations of road Map with the PLO. The PLO demands that it granted the sovereignty in The whole West Bank, that 450000 living Jews there is expelled and that Arabic millions of are allowed living in Israel are not negotiable and probably cannot be accepted by Israel.
Basem Sakkhijha - an analyst with the al-dustor of Jordanian press - this week summarized the blind avenue in which these negotiations already took:
"The project of independence of Palestinian conducted by the Liberation Organization Palestinian, was marked by failure and attained a bag bottom. The only alternate one of this historic conflict is for Jordan to have a role in the future of the West Bank"
Labib Kamhawi - a Jordanian economist and a political analyst - was retrieved this week in the united Arabic Emirates National Newspapers as saying that:
"The Jordan never had abandoned really his ambition for a serious role in the West Bank".
The Jordan occupied the West Bank between 1948-1967. Its attach administrative with the West Bank totally were never cut since Israel captured the West Bank of Jordan in the 1967 Six Wars of Day.
Kamhawi concluded that:
"The Jordan cannot turn his back and says "I does not want to be implied'."
Kamhawi has reason. It is only a question of time before Jordan becomes implied. The Jordan will have the step in emptiness left by the collapse of the negotiations of road Map and brings the West Bank 'the s population Arabic under his jurisdiction and his authority. The population of the Jordan will demand that this action is business to allow meeting to the family to arrive aside and of other of the River of Jordan. Person - the Arab or Jew - will need to leave his to exist to the house or the matters for this to arrive.
Israel and Jordan have redessiner and must adjust mutuelment their borders and suppose the rule of sovereign one in the West Bank in the sectors consent allocated to each of them. New - and significant - the negotiations will be comparatively easy to conclude when their objective of end is not the creation of another Arabic state between Israel and Jordan but the division of sovereignty of a postage gauged the earth piece between the two States of successor in former Palestine.
This will continue the process to complete the sovereignty division in former Palestine - began first between the Arabs and the Jews in 1920. When concluded, this will leave the sovereignty problem in just 1% of Palestine - the Band of Gassed - to be at last resolved.
The king Abdullah should be to trust the unbelievable efforts his great-grandfathers, his father and did itself to obtain 78% of Palestine as an independent State of the sovereign one and exclusively Arabic in a sector at first proposed by the League of Nations as is part of the site inside which the National House Jew was to be restored.
To deny that the birth of the Jordan and his own heritage of patrilineal is the manner more sure for the King Abdullah to increase - not the decrease - the worries of Jordan. It will have certainly shows it his back if it continues to do if.
