HKOPS still the world’s best kept secret

By David Singer - posted Thursday, 8 May 2025


I began writing about HKOPS within days of its publication – even making contact with Shihabi – who co-operated with me in publishing an article detailing the features of HKOPS.

For reasons unstated Shihabi has cut off communication with me - and Al Arabiya News has banned my access to its site.

I forwarded many of my articles to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for comment. My emails were not even acknowledged as silence has reigned supreme at the United Nations – which has chosen to continue to push for the creation of a Palestinian Arab state between Israel and Jordan - a solution that is dead and buried after thirty years of going nowhere.

I contacted many political analysts and international think tanks urging them to publish articles on HKOPS. Only one did so.

With the region now in turmoil after Gaza's invasion of Israel on 7 October 2023 HKOPS stands out as the only solution capable of being implemented in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) to end more than 100 years of unresolved conflict between Arabs and Jews there.

President Trump has stated his position on Gaza. He is yet to state his position on Judea and Samaria (West Bank) – well overdue after being promised in early March.

It seems increasingly likely that Trump will call for a new international border to be agreed between Israel and Jordan in direct negotiations chaired by Saudi Arabia or America.

HKOPS was definitely the elephant in the room at the JNS Conference.

Implementing HKOPS still remains the best way forward as the solution so desperately needed to end rapidly escalating tensions involving Iran, Israel, many Arab States and Arab terrorist organisations - and increasing Jew-hatred worldwide.
