Jordan rejects alleged US proposal for confederation with Palestinians

THOSE POOR PALESTINIANS! NOBODY WANTS TO GIVE THEM FREE LAND!  This is because they are the subject of two Bible prophecies that say they will be made "SMALL AMONG THE NATIONS." 

(Read the prophecies below the article).

Jordan on Sunday rejected a proposal, allegedly floated by US administration officials, calling for the creation of a Palestinian-Jordanian confederation. Jordanian government spokeswoman Jumana Ghneimat said that joining the kingdom with the West Bank — the bulk of the area Palestinians want for a future state and controlled by Israeli since 1967 — is not a matter that is open for discussion.

In comments reported by the Khaberni news agency, Ghneimat said that “discussing the idea of a confederation with the regions of the West Bank is not possible.” She clarified that Jordan’s position, which is based on the two-state solution of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, is fixed and clear.

But Nabil Abu Rudeinah, the official spokesman of the Palestinian Authority presidency, said that the idea of a confederation has been on the agenda of the Palestinian leadership since 1984. However, the Palestinian spokesperson signaled that a two-state solution is a prerequisite for any future arrangement with Jordan, reported Wafa, the official Palestinian Authority news agency.

The ancient Edomites have ethnical representation within the Palestinians today. Jeremiah and Obadiah both said that the Edomites will never be a great state. These two prophets warned that the Edomites (Palestinians today) would be made "small among the nations." This is their problematic plight today and it will continue to be so. 

Jeremiah 49:15 “For indeed, I will make you (Edom) small among nations, Despised among men."

Obadiah 1:2 “Behold, I will make you (Edom) small among the nations; You shall be greatly despised."
