Jordan on Sunday rejected a proposal initiated by US administration officials to establish a Palestinian-Jordanian confederation.
Jordanian government spokeswoman Jumana Ghneimat said that joining the kingdom with the West Bank the area Palestinians want for a future state within the 1967 borders is not a matter that is open for discussion.
During a meeting with an Israeli delegation that visited Ramallah on Sunday Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas said that senior US administration officials Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt asked him recently about his opinion of a “confederation with Jordan”.
“I said yes to the offer but I want a three-way confederation with Jordan and Israel” Abbas said.
