File under: Fatah

#1 Abdullah II flatly rejected a confederation with the Palestinians on Sunday, calling any such proposal at the current time a "conspiracy" against his kingdom

LOL, knowing the propensity of Arabs for producing conspiracies in vast quantities on daily basis, it is somewhat ironic that once a while, they may be right, akin to a broken clock that is right no less than twice a day.

#2 "calling any such proposal at the current time"

IE its not off the table.

But this isnt the right time to talk about it. Cause
A. Jordan really doesnt want any formal role in the WB. They will take one only IF everything else appears to be failing, and we are NOT at that point yet
B. For decades Fatah has stood for an independent Pal State, and against the "Jordan Option" To refloat the Jordan Option now, would undermine Abbas' position. Until it looks like Abbas position is hopeless, its unwise to float the option.

#4 armed hamasniks running around in public in the WB, Hamas bombers blowing up PA govt installations in the WB, and Abbas facing the more or less imminent prospect of losing to Hamas on the WB.
