'46% of Palestinians support Jordanian-Palestinian confederation based on two states'
|
[Jpost] Moreover, only eighteen percent—19% from the West Bank and 16% from Gazoo--said they would support a bi-national state for both Arabs and Jews.
| And so they will get what the majority prefer, a continuation of the status quo. |
More Paleostinians prefer the establishment of a Jordanian-Paleostinian confederation than a traditional two-state or one-state solution, a new public opinion poll has found.
An-Najah National University in Nablus randomly surveyed 1362 Paleostinians from the West Bank and Gazoo Strip between October 13-15 on a variety of issues relevant to Paleostinian politics and society.
Forty-six percent of Paleostinians surveyed ‐ 52% from the West Bank and 36% from the Gazoo Strip ‐ said they would support the establishment of a Paleostinian-Jordanian confederation on the basis of two states with strong institutional relations.
In contrast, 36% of Paleostinians ‐ 40% from the West Bank and 29.4% from Gazoo ‐ said they would support the establishment of a Paleostinian state on the 1967 borders. Only 22% of Paleostinians ‐ 24% from the West Bank and 18% from Gazoo ‐ said they would back the creation of a Paleostinian state on 1967 borders with some land swaps.
Moreover, only 18% of respondents ‐ 19% from the West Bank and 16% from Gazoo ‐ said they would support a bi-national state for both Arabs and Jews.
Despite a plurality of Paleostinians supporting a Jordanian-Paleostinian confederation, Grant Rumley, a research fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies remains skeptical of its feasibility.
"Similar to the idea of a binational state, the Jordanian option too is not entirely feasible. Still, I think [the results of the poll] show the public disillusionment with the PLO and its platform of negotiations," Rumley wrote in an email to The Jerusalem Post, adding, "With the grinding of the peace processor in its current state, many Paleostinians view Oslo as a failure, and as such look at other options (such as a binational state or a Jordanian state) as favorable. So long as the status quo continues, I’d expect support for these other options to rise."
Jordan made a historic decision in 1988 known as Fakk al-Irtibat, the disengagement from the West Bank, and officially announced that it no longer considered the West Bank as part of the Hashemite Kingdom.
| Something about Black September and kicking out rude Palestinian houseguests, as I recall... |
Since then, Jordan and King Abdullah, the Jordanian monarch, have consistently supported a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.
However,
a woman is only as old as she admits...
some Jordanians including a former prime minister have voiced support for a Jordanian-Paleostinian confederation following the establishment of a Paleostinian state.
Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
holds that Jordan is a close ally of the Paleostinian leadership and has said that the Jordanians and Paleostinians are "one people living in two states," but Abbas has made no indication that he supports a confederation since assuming the presidency in 2005.
