Jordanian PM says support for one-state solution possible if Israel annexes West Bank
Omar Razzaz told The Guardian that Jordan would view one state "positively," but he reiterated Amman's opposition to Israel's stalled plan to annex parts of the West Bank.
Jordan’s Prime Minister Omar Razzaz said the Hashemite Kingdom would view a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “positively” if Israel goes ahead with its annexation plans in the West Bank.
Speaking to the British news outlet The Guardian, Razzaz said that annexation would doom the two-state solution.
“You close the door to the two-state solution, I could very well look at this positively if we’re clearly opening the door to a one-state democratic solution,” Razzaz told The Guardian in an interview published today.
Razzaz said forgoing the two-state solution would push the region toward “chaos,” however, and also said that annexation would create an “apartheid state” — referring to the race-based segregation South Africa had in the 20th century.
