Trump: Ditch UN, Hamas, PLO and focus on Israel & Jordan

By David Singer - posted Friday, 22 August 2025


[The two-State solution] is the only credible path to a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

And it is the sine qua non for peace across the wider Middle East.

False

Guterres and the UN have consistently refused to consider - or even acknowledge the existence of - the 2022Saudi-based Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (HKOPS)calling for Jordan, Gaza and part of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) to be merged into one new territorial entity.

Israel and Jordan, the two successor States to the Mandate and partners to a signed Peace Treaty since 1994, are the parties designated by HKOPS to successfully implement HKOPS. This would involve redrawing the existing international border between their two respective States, a task that could be achieved in months.

HKOPS excludes Hamas and the PLO from such negotiations.

Redrawing the existing international border would reunify West Bank and East Bank Arabs, as existed between 1950 and 1967, HKOPS pointing out:

Jordanians and Palestinians are as similar as any people can be. They are Sunni Arabs from the same neighborhood. Merging them will not create any long-term ethnic or sectarian fault lines.

No Arab or Jew would have to leave his current home or business in Judea and Samaria (West Bank).

A meeting at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Jordan's King Abdullah could be a great start to get the HKOPS ball rolling.

Author's note: The cartoon was drawn in March 2024 by Yaakov Kirschen aka "Dry Bones"- one of Israel's foremost political and social commentators – who passed away on 14 April 2025 and whose cartoons graced the columns of Israeli and international media publications for decades.
