AMMAN, Jordan (AFP) — A controversial US plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace could spell the demise of Jordan and turn it into a “Palestinian state,” Jordanians and analysts warn.

The initiative launched by US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner at a June conference in Bahrain dangles the prospect of $50 billion in investment into a stagnant Palestinian economy.

  1. First what is jordanian identity? jordan in itself is a fraud built on Jewish land. Second the only arabs having a right to live in Israel (which included J-S-gaza)are those families resident prior to 1917. The rest are interlopers. Supposed jordan has lots of vacant land which the sodomites could build on, much moolah has been committed. Share some of the gulf of elat waters as you’re doing with the saudis so all 3 will have a shipping outlet. Imagine the revenue from all resident taxes,from overseas sales why you’d be as rich as gaza. You could take from lesbion and become the the gambling, hide a buck like Monaco, Luxembourg centre of the middle East.
