Page "Proposals for a Palestinian state" Paragraph 40

* A United Arab Kingdom plan which returns Palestine to nominal Jordanian control under the supervision of a Hashemite monarch.

This idea was first proposed by the late King Hussein.

In October 2007, King Abdullah stated that the Palestinian independence must be achieved before Jordan will entertain expanding its role in Palestine beyond religious sites.

This plan is buttressed by a Jordanian infrastructure which is vastly superior to the 1948-1967 area with particular attention paid to tourism, healthcare, and education.

A Palestinian state would rely heavily on tourism, which Jordan would assist with considerable experience and established departments.
