    Jordan prefers talks for Palestinian state

    AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Jordan's foreign minister says his country supports a Palestinian drive for recognition at the U.N. but prefers negotiations toward creation of a Palestinian state.

    Palestinians are appealing to the world body for recognition because peace talks with Israel are frozen.

    Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh told reporters Wednesday that Jordan supports the Palestinian campaign, but it should take into account the rights of Palestinian refugees, the fate of Jerusalem and the borders of a future Palestinian state.

    He said the "best way" to attain statehood is through "direct negotiations."

    Jordan hosts nearly 2 million Palestinian refugees, slightly more than in the West Bank and Gaza. It is also the custodian of Muslim and Christian holy shrines in Jerusalem.

    A future Palestinian state would border on Israel, Egypt and Jordan.

      Palestine deserves to be a country, just like Israel deserves to be a country. They need only 1 border on one side between them, which means Palestine can not be surrounded by Israel. Israel has the right to defend itself, as does Palestine. Attacks from either side only make matters worse and are an excuse to continue the bloodshed. Generations are brought up on hate, of each other for past offenses, neither side works for peace, it has to stop. Making Palestine a country is the first step, since they will have to prove they can make it before the world, instead of blaming their current state of affairs on Israel. The USA should back off and let this take place.

        The first step should be the removal of Hamas as a governing body. As long as they are there nothing can get done.

      Jordan doesn't want Palis in his country... I can understand that.... Once Palestine is a state, they will try and annex Jordan through violent means.

      The sold out leaders of Jordan will say anything America and those so called jews tell them .
      They have all been working together .

        Abbas's mother was a jew. So that makes Abbas a jew. He wants a Palestinian state to then sell it to Israel for pennies. To make a Palestinian state means Israel gets twice as much land.

        Abbas murdered Arafat becuse Abass is Israel's number one spy. Why do you think no one ever found out why Arafat really died?

        Netanyahu has a plan that will make all the Muslims in Palestine brainwashed and they will convert to Judaism. They won't be able to help themselves. It will not be their fault. Allah will forgive them as they eat their bagels and salute the Israeli flag.

      Well, Jordan, Wikileaks has just shown that the US and Israel are on the plan for the next Palestine state to be in your state of Jordan. That's right, Israel gets all of Palestine and they'll just fix that by renaming Jordan "Palestine".

      The "Palestinians" will get their state, but Israel will have some say as to what the borders will be. Also, the Fakestinians will not get Jerusalem- or any part of it.

      And from news the liberal media won't share with you comes this little nugget.

      It appears Abbas has come to some of his sense and has backed off submitting his application for statehood to the U.N. Security Council due to a massive US campaign to avert it, backed by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the European Union. He has also notified Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal and European Union foreign executive Catherine Ashton in Cairo that he is considering watering down his application to the UN General Assembly - possibly by dropping the "state within 1967 borders [sic]" provision from the text.
      Abbas said he would make his final decision known in a public address from Ramallah Friday, Sept 16.And from news the liberal media won't share with you comes this little nugget.
