Palestine is making its best efforts at stabilizing its relations with Arab nations and it was on its way to do it with Jordan as well but things may have spoiled due to one of the senior Palestinian officials unreasonable comments.
The senior
officials reportedly announced that only Palestinian were adhering to the
thwarted former US president Donald Trump’s middle east peace plan. The
Jordanians believe that Palestinians should not take the sole responsibility
as even they had a major role in derailing the Trump plan.
PA was responsible for throwing Trump’s plan off the shore after it was revealed in 2020 that the former US president was planning to liquidate the Palestinian issue and completely dismiss Palestinians rights. A lot Arab countries came together to confirm their displease from the plan and among them Jordan was also there. Jordan too rejected the plan along with other Arab leaders.
Jordan had
dismissed the plan after it was found out that Trump may be looking at Jordan
for an escape from the country and Jordan feared that it would create a lot of
pressure on them. The timing of the disagreement between the two regions is
very crucial as on the same day, there was a meeting between Jordan’s King
Abdullah II and US President Joe Biden.
How the US has
fared in terms of Palestine and the Israel issue is one the bigger reasons why
it was a challenge ahead of the Jordan and US meet. Jordan is important to the
US and as of Palestinians, it is considered nothing but a threat to the peace
of the region, so for the US and Jordan it was a good meet and greet.
The PA president
and Jordan counterpart were about to meet at the of this month and they
supposedly had to discuss and coordinate “on the interest of the Arab nation
and its common cause, primarily the Palestinian cause,” but despite best
efforts, it might have spoiled after the statement of the Palestinian leader.
