Funny how @KingAbdullahII failed to mention how Jordan illegally occupied the West Bank from 1948-1967, formally annexed it in 1950, and ethnically cleansed the territory of Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem. In all that time, they never created a Palestinian state. Then, in 1988, King Hussein, his father, stripped West Bank Palestinian residents of Jordanian citizenship overnight, another illegal move. Now King Abdullah comes to the UN lectures about “de facto annexation” and international law? King Abdullah doesn’t want you to know that that reason they didn’t declare a Palestinian state (and the reason Egypt didn’t either when they controlled Gaza), is because there was never a national identity known as “Palestinian” in the Arab world. This concept only developed with the PLO and Yasser Arafat in the 1960s.

There was never a nationality known as Lebanese or Syrian or Iraqi either and Egypt was not a historically arab muslim country. These terms are post WW1 terms. The reason the Palestinians don't get a state is because their goal is to destroy Israel and a state makes it easier.

Fraud!!! KING ABDULLAH2 is a COLONIZER FROM MECCA IN SAUDI ARABIA! This "king" whose great grandfather STOLE Jordan in 1921, from the indigenous Arab (Palestinian) tribes who lived there, (with British help,) & exiled many of them & they do NOT get same civil rights in Jordan!

but there is a palestinian people who have lived there for centuries under different empires and countries None of those empires or countries had a problem with their existence until the zionist immigration came and made one of its central tenets their genocide or expulsion

What was the name of that place Britain had control over after WW1. North of Egypt and west of Jordan. Just south of Lebanon. Oh yeah Palestine.

Britain carved Transjordan from the Palestine Mandate, making it the true Arab-Palestinian state. Britain anointed a foreign, colonizing family from Mecca, the Hashemites, who should step down so Jordan can become the official Palestinian homeland, solving the broader conflict."

Funny. You clearly don't knpw what you are talking about. There was nothjing illegally about Jordan's annexation fo the West Bank, It was recognized by the UN includin gall memembers of the UNSC in 1966 - see UNSC Res 228 that passed 14-0 that referred to Hebron as Jordanian territory. The ethnic cleansing of Jews in the Old City was in response to Israel's ethnci cleansing or of Palestinians from West Jerusalem. It's true that they did not create a Palestinian state and for good reason. The borders at the time were still to be negotiated, especially seeing as Israel had seized 50% of the Arab territory in Palestine in 1948. King Hussein removed West Bank Palestinian residents of Jordanian citizenship following the PLO's declaration of independenece along the 1967 borers, whie Jordan recognized. So yes, King Abdullah has everyu right to lecture about “de facto annexation” and international law. And yes, there was A national identity known as “Palestinian” in the Arab world you liar. The Delegation to Great Britain in February 1922 self-identified themselves as representatives of the “Arab People of Palestine” and members of the “People of Palestine”. They demanded their own national constitution and representative government. By their own definition, no foreign Zionists were included. Throughout the British Mandate, Palestine was officially recognized as a State with its own nationality" by dozens of other countries and the international courts. The Zionists from Europe spoke ill of the Jews from Arabs lands, and maligned them as being too similar to Arabs and not even knowing how to pray or speak in Hebrew. Does that mean that they had no right to be there? You don’t even bother to address that the Arab population owned the overwhelming majority of land title in Palestine up to 1948. Jews only owned 6%.

Yes, but there's more irony: "Palestinians" are just Egyptians and Jordanians. The countries both run from them because they attempt to commandeer the government of whatever country is hosting them.

Correct. King is trying yet again to rewrite history for the ignorant pro Pali crowd that doesn’t know any history! Kings speech imo should have been fact checked by Israel and reposted with correct information and then broadcast in Arabic into Gaza and West Bank! No more lies

Let’s not forget how his father, King Hussein, dealt with Yasser Arafat and the PLO, which became a pariah in the Middle East. In September 1970, the Palestine Liberation Organization faced a severe conflict in Jordan known as Black September. The fighting was primarily between the PLO, led by Yasser Arafat, and the Jordanian government under King Hussein. It escalated after the PLO’s growing military presence and operations in Jordan, including attacks against Israel from Jordanian territory. The PLO suffered heavy losses, with estimates of Palestinian casualties ranging from 2,000 to 25,000, including civilians. They were expelled from Jordan and fled to Lebanon, where they were expelled again in 1982. Some 14,000 PLO remnants were then evacuated to Tunisia. Hypocrisy has no face.

This is their master plan: when the Arabs win the war, they’ll cleanse the Jews from Israel. There was never a Palestinian state or identity; it was created after the Arabs lost the wars. If Palestine exists, why not call out Jordan, which occupied 78% of Palestine lands?

There are no 'Palestinians' in the ethnic sense of the word. They are Arabs. Gazan Arabs and West Bank Arabs. The so-called 'Palestinian ethnic identity' has nothing to do with the centuries-long evolutionary ethnic processes which resulted in the natural forming of other nations in the Middle East. Fixated on an illusory ancient identity (ancient Philistines) the fundamental logic of this identity construction is fallacious.
6
Simply, after experiencing 'Palestinians' both Jordan and Egypt did not declare a 'state' is because neither wanted these problem folks. They flat-out wanted rid of them. Both had enough land to offer a dedicated area. History is very clear on these facts

Strange, Jordan occupied the West Bank until 1967, then that same year Palestinians illegally invaded and occupied Lebanon until 1984, destroying homes, businesses, stealing wealth from Christians forced to flee. Yet Palestinians view themselves as the oppressed? They have great gaslighting PR, even having the Pope believing their cow dung lies.

There was no national identity or country of Israel before 1948. Let's say we accept your premise, what's your point?

That's the reason I call it ex-Jordan, when a pro-pali mentions it.

So is Israel gonna give citizenship to Arabs in the west bank? Or are you gonna expand Area A at least? Cuz if your answer to both is "No" then you support Apartheid.

Jordan took in thousands of Palestinians after the creation of Israel in 1948.Palestinian armed groups developed into a state within a state. King Hussein of Jordan narrowly survived a number of assassination attempts by the ‘Black September’ Palestinian terrorists.

Quite…hypocrisy personified…he virtue signals to keep the extremists from dethroning him. What he doesn’t realise is that Israel has kept him in power and safe because it suited them. He needs to be careful not to alienate the one country that can keep him alive.
