Jordanian officials are sweating over another one-state solution: merging portions of the West Bank with the Hashemite kingdom. AFP writes:
“We would prefer to be at war with Israel rather than accept such a situation, which would be a security nightmare and which would in the long term cause Jordan to lose its identity,” the Jordanian official said . . . .
“Jordan strongly opposes all American or Israeli attempts to merge it with a part of the West Bank,” the official said, adding that such a move would allow the Palestinians control of Jordanian politics and the powers of the king.
Sounds awfully similar to Israeli arguments against a one-solution.
