Jordan's king says U.S. pushing new plan for Mideast

LONDON (Reuters) – The United States is promoting a peace plan for the Middle East involving a "57-state solution" in which the entire Muslim world would recognize Israel, Monday's Times of London quoted Jordan's King Abdullah as saying.

"We are offering a third of the world to meet them with open arms," the king said. "The future is not the Jordan River or the Golan Heights or the Sinai, the future is Morocco in the Atlantic and Indonesia in the Pacific. That is the prize."

But he warned: "If we delay our peace negotiations, then there is going to be another conflict between Arabs or Muslims and Israel in the next 12-18 months."

The newspaper said the king had hatched the plan with President Barack Obama in Washington in April. Details are likely to be thrashed out in a series of diplomatic moves this month, including Obama's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington next week.

Wonder if this is what Obama meant with his "57 states" gaffe...

I heard on the one of the Conservative talks today, think it was Hannity, that Obama refused to have a photo shoot with Israeli President Peres when he was at the White House. I don't know if it was because he's afraid to piss off the Muslims, or because he generally hates Israel, or both.

Hi,

To me this is a huge crock of BS.  Who is gonna monitor things and insure compliance?  Think that Iran will quit developing nuclear weapons with the intent of destroying Israel?  BO may pressue Israel to go along but the day is coming when they have to take out Iran's nuclear facility or they will be obliterated.  I just do not see that changing.  Only thing that is different is the US will blast Israel for taking pre-emptive action.  Likely that is something mr. B. HUSSEIN Obama wants to do anyway.

regards,

The UN will do that for us (*nudge, nudge wink, wink*).

I don't see the current or future Israeli administration paying a lot of attention to Obama.  I could be wrong, but I don't think Barry will have a lot of pull with Hamas doing his fundraising for him.
