Israel conference: Jordan is only country for Palestinians

Right-wing organisation the International Jewish-Muslim Dialogue Centre is hosting a conference entitled “The Jordan Option: The only way to peace” aiming to highlight the issue that Jordan is the alternative country for Palestinians, Arabs48.com reported yesterday.

Due to take place on 17 October, the conference will reveal a shadow government headed by the Jordanian opposition figure Mudar Zahran, who is referred to in the invitation as the secretary-general of the Jordanian Opposition Coalition.

The announcement of this government is an introduction for the establishment of the Palestinian state in Jordan.

Scores of Jordanian, Jewish and Israeli figures are due to attend the conference, according to the invitation, including the extremist right wing Israeli MK Yehuda Glick who is planned to present a paper titled: “Jordan is Palestine, the only solution. A win-win situation.”

Glick believes that Al-Aqsa Mosque must be demolished and the Jewish Temple must be built in its place. Only yesterday he stormed the Muslim holy site.
