Jordan's King Rejects Confederation with Palestinians
[AP/International Herald Tribune] Jordan's King Abdullah II flatly rejected a confederation with the Palestinians on Sunday and said he was "fed up talking about this issue." "We reject the formula of confederation and federation and we believe that proposing this issue at this specific period is a conspiracy against both Palestine and Jordan," Abdullah told the Al-Ghad newspaper. He said it was "premature to talk about the shape of future relations with Palestine and we will not tackle this issue until an independent Palestinian state on Palestinian soil is established."
