Jordan’s King Abdullah says that the US and Barack Obama are promoting a “new plan” for peace in the Middle East—a “57-state solution.”

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.”

Obviously, I am a cynic. Because my first response on reading this article was: good luck with that.

After all, how many offers of peace are combined with threats of annihilation?

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.”
