When asked if Biden would recognize a Palestinian state at this point, a National Security Council (NSC) spokesperson told Newsweek via email on Wednesday, "The President is a strong supporter of a two-state solution and has been throughout his career. He believes a Palestinian state should be realized through direct negotiations between the parties, not through unilateral recognition."
Biden has continued the old phrase about a Palestine State next door to Israel, and it hasn't happened. The truth is, Jordan has already created a Palestine, and nobody has noticed. Could that be that is is still being called Jordan because it is? Jordan had created a Palestine 54 years ago! Here's how.
Jordan's population is made up of Palestinians. Black September, also known as the Jordanian Civil War, was an armed conflict between Jordan, led by King Hussein, and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), led by chairman Yasser Arafat. The main phase of the fighting took place between 16 and 27 September 1970, though certain aspects of the conflict continued until 17 July 1971.
After Jordan annexed Judea and Samaria ( the West Bank) in 1950, it conferred its citizenship on the West Bank Palestinians.
The combined population of the West Bank and Jordan consisted of (2/3s Palestinians 1/3 in the West Bank and 1/3 in the East Bank) and 1/3 Jordanians.) Add it up. That comes to a population of 2/3 Palestinians and 1/3 Jordanians. It was made of more Palestinians than the Jordanians who were there before Black September. See below.
And then, just who were the Jordanians? Where did they come from? It's said that Abdullah brought his many friends with him in his move.
1. Abdullah I bin Al-Hussein ( 2 February 1882 – 20 July 1951) was the ruler of Jordan from 11 April 1921 until his assassination in 1951. He was the Emir of Transjordan, a British protectorate, until 25 May 1946, after which he was king of an independent Jordan. As a member of the Hashemite dynasty, the royal family of Jordan since 1921, Abdullah was a 38th-generation direct descendant of Muhammad. Then he needed a land to rule and talked to Britain who gave him Transjordan ! Abdullah, a prince from the Hashemite family in Arabia, was given the territory of Transjordan (later known as Jordan) to rule by the British, essentially providing him with a state to govern; this is how the Hashemite dynasty came to rule Jordan. Britain had a mandate over the Ottoman Empire along with France, who earned it by winning WWI and inheriting the Empire.

They had already made plans to give it to the Jews for a Jewish Homeland, however, with the Balfour Declaration!!! The Balfour Declaration was a public statement made by the British government on November 2, 1917 that supported the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine: Notice the Jordan River. In the Old Testament, the Jordan River is simply called "the Jordan" (Hebrew: "ha-Yarden") and is consistently referred to by this name throughout the Bible; there isn't a separate, distinct name used for it in the Old Testament narrative. This is important to know as it is a dividing line.
Perhaps the British made the promise to the Arabs out of appeasement. Many Arabs, in Palestine and elsewhere, were outraged by their failure to receive the nationhood and self-government they had been led to expect in return for their participation in the war against Turkey (Ottoman Empire in WWI). However, Jews fought on the British side as well.
In the years after World War I, the Jewish population in Palestine increased dramatically, along with the instances of Jewish-Arab violence. The Brits somehow knew of oil, and threw the dice and decided to favor the Arabs more, as I understand the situation. They broke Balfour's promise in innumerable ways, like keeping out Jews but allowing Arabs into the land.
The favored man over the Jews of 1917, Abdullah I, became emir of Transjordan in April 1921. He upheld his alliance with the British during World War II, and became king after Transjordan gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1946.
In 1949, Jordan annexed the (Judea and Samaria ) West Bank, which angered Arab countries including Syria, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. He was assassinated in Jerusalem while attending Friday prayers at the entrance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by a Palestinian in 1951. Abdullah was succeeded by his eldest son Talal.
- 4. We have a Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein (born 30 January 1962) who is King of Jordan today having ascended the throne on 7 February 1999. He is a member of the Hashemite dynasty, who have been the reigning royal family of Jordan since 1921, and is considered a 41st-generation direct descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Abdullah II, having ascended the throne on 7 February 1999. He is a member of the Hashemite dynasty, who have been the reigning royal family of Jordan since 1921, and is considered a 41st-generation direct descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was named for his grandfather, Abdullah, a prince in Arabia.
- Abdullah II was born in Amman, as the first child of King Hussein and his wife, Princess Muna. As the king's eldest son, Abdullah was heir apparent until Hussein transferred the title to Abdullah's uncle Prince Hassan in 1965.
King Hussein married his British princess in 1961 and Toni became Muna Al-Hussein on marriage. - Their son,
Abdullah II , now King of Jordan, was born the following year. They welcomed three more children: Faisal, Aisha and Zein. However, the marriage wasn't to last; their divorce was finalized in December 1971. - King Abdullah II of Jordan married Rania Al-Yassin, a Palestinian woman from Kuwait: Meeting: The couple met at a dinner party in January 1993. Marriage: They married on June 10, 1993 at Zahran Palace. Becoming queen: After Abdullah's father, King Hussein, died in 1999, Abdullah became king and elevated Rania from princess to queen. Family: The couple have four children, including Crown Prince Hussein. Advocacy: Rania is a global advocate for women's rights, education, and health. She is also known for her social media use, where she has millions of followers and posts about her family and causes.
Jordan provided Palestinians with seats amounting to half (50%; 1/2 ) the parliament, and Palestinians enjoyed equal opportunities in all sectors of the state. This demographic change influenced Jordanian politics.
Take off the blinders, world. There has been a Palestinian state since 1971 already. And yet you clamor to take more land from Israel to make another Palestine? You want to place Hamas terrorists next door to Israel, like pouring vinegar into water? Accept Jordan as the Palestinian state ! We don't need 2 of them. King Abdullah II has handled his state so far, so maybe he can rule over more Palestinians.

3:48pm on 10/16/24 See below: I had added it up wrong; it was to add the east and the west Palestinians together against Jordanians and though I added the wrong things, it still came out to be more Palestinians than Jordanians;
4:29, add on about Jordan River.
