Israel/Palestine

I don't think the Palestinians like this arrangement, but they are obviously incapable of affecting change. The people of Palestine are chained by Hamas, a terrorist group in Gaza and Fatah, a tribal group in the WB. There are no indications that anything will change in the near or midterm future, in fact the descent into tyranny and totalitarianism in the WB is almost complete, the only step left is for the current dictator, Abbas to name his successor, which is ongoing as we speak.

The Palestinians are the largest ethnic group in Jordan, making up more than half of the entire population and yet they have almost no representation, receive no social benefits, can't work in the government and are heavily taxed.

Creating a joint Palestinian and Jordanian protectorate in part of the WB and on the other side of the river would go a very long way to make up for the historic injustices the Hashemites have inflicted on the Palestinians.
