(IsraelNN.com) MK Benny Elon presents a peace plan that emphasizes the closing of refugee camps and Jordanian citizenship for the Arabs of Judea and Samaria.
MK Elon, head of the National Union party and its Moledet Party faction, has twice served as Israel's Tourism Minister. He originally wrote the plan, known as the Right Road to Peace, in May 2003. He has now updated it with references to, and lessons learned from, the Second Lebanon War, the Disengagement from Gaza, and other recent events.
The plan calls for Israel, the United States and the entire international community to recognize the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as the sole legitimate representative of the Arabs of Judea and Samaria. Israel will assume full sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, while Jordan grants citizenship to the Arabs living there. Israel and Jordan will cooperate in coordinating the running of local affairs.
The Palestinian Authority will cease to exist, under Elon's plan, and will be replaced by Jordan. All weapons, of course, will be seized from the various terrorist groups. "Jordan is a reliable partner interested in stability," Elon explains, "and will replace our Palestinian 'partner' who is unable to bring peace."
"Palestine has already been divided once into two states, a Jewish one and an Arab one," Elon told the reporters. "The Arab state is now Jordan, which was originally established in 1922 when Britain gave most of the land to Amir Abdullah. Most of the population of present-day Jordan is originally Palestinian, having come from the West Bank of Jordan."
Sadly, this plan will likely never be heard. The leftwing media would never permit such a dialog to take place. You can see the Elon plan at the Right Road to Peace.
