Israel set to uncork Hashemite Kingdom genie at UN

Among its positive points, the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine would have its capital in Amman – not Jerusalem.

Israel is readying to uncork the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine genie at the United Nations – ending UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Process Torr Wennesland’s’ efforts to keep the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine Solution (Saudi Solution) from being discussed as a replacement for the failed UN 20 years-old two state solution.

The Saudi Solution was published on 8 June 2022 in the Saudi Government-controlled Al Arabiya News. Its author – Ali Shihabi – advises Saudi Arabia’s King-designate, Crown Prince and Prime Minister – Mohammed Bin Salman – on the development of Neom – a new $500 billion mega city the size of Israel

The Saudi Solution calls for the merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of Judea and Samaria (aka ‘West Bank’) into one territorial entity to be called The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine – having its capital in Amman – not Jerusalem.

It supersedes the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative -spawned by Saudi Arabia and embraced by the UN – which calls for:

“the establishment of a sovereign independent Palestinian state on the Palestinian territories occupied since June 4, 1967 in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

The UN stands to become totally irrelevant if it continues to refuse to discuss the Saudi Solution following Danny Danon – Israel’s former ambassador to the United Nations – claiming at the first Abraham Accords Global Leadership Summit – that Saudi Arabia may be one of the next nations to normalize relations with Israel.

Danon stated:

“We have been in contact with the Saudis for years. I worked personally with them at the United Nations on matters of regional stability and security. It’s just a matter of time before courageous leaders step out of the shadows and full peace is achieved between all the children of Abraham. .. I expect we’ll see an agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia this year”

This was good news for those seeking an end to the 100 years-old Jewish/Arab conflict – but bad news for the UN which continues to stubbornly support the two-state solution whilst refusing to even acknowledge the existence of the game-changing Saudi Solution since its publication six months ago.

It beggars belief that on 30 November the UN General Assembly adopted five resolutions on the questions of ‘Palestine’ and the Middle East without one speaker uttering the words. “Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine Solution” – whose successful implementation would see the Arab populations in Gaza, part of the ‘West Bank’ and the wretched UNRWA camps in Lebanon and Syria becoming citizens of that newly-created territorial entity.

Cheikh Niang (Senegal) – Chair of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People – introduced its annual report containing developments relating to the question of Palestine between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022 – which contained not one reference to the Saudi Solution in its 27 pages.

Israeli Prime Minister designate Bibi Netanyahu has made his intentions crystal-clear:

“I think the big prize is peace with Saudi Arabia, which I intend to achieve if I go back into office… The rise of Israeli power facilitated the Abraham Accords, and the continual nurturing of Israeli power will also nurture a broader peace with Saudi Arabia and nearly all of the rest of the Arab world. I intend to bring the Arab-Israeli conflict to a close.”

The 2022 Saudi Solution offers Israel:

  • sole sovereignty in Jerusalem,
  • sovereignty in part of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and
  • abandonment of the 74 years-old Arab claim to return to Israel

The UN must respond to the hope of peace offered by the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine genie.
