A report released Friday morning claims that the soon-to-be released Middle East peace plan drawn up by the Trump administration – dubbed the “Deal of the Century” – includes
►large-scale resettlement of Palestinian Arabs in Jordan,
►the ceding of Jordanian territory to Israel,
►and the formation of a tripartite confederation between
-Jordan,
-the Palestinian Authority
-and Israel’s Civil Administration
to administer Judea and Samaria.
According to the report, published by the Beirut-based Al-Akhbar, sources in Jordan and Egypt say that the much-anticipated peace plan
would include a broad regional agreement, with a number of Arab states taking an active role in the deal.
Jordan, for instance, will be asked to permanently settle one million Palestinian Arabs currently listed as refugees.
Under the plan, according to the Al-Akhbar report, Jordan would first naturalize 300,000 Palestinian Arabs, including those already living in Jordan,
which the report said number no more than 200,000.
Details regarding the present location of the remaining 800,000 were not provided in the report.
Jordan will also be asked to cede to Israel two areas currently leased by the Jewish state.
both Naharayim and Tzofar would be ceded to Israel.
Naharayim (Al-Baqoura), which straddles the border between northern Israel and northern Jordan, and
Tzofar (Al-Ghamr), adjacent to the Arava district of Israel, were leased to Israel following the Israel-Jordan peace treaty in 1994.
Last year, however, Jordan’s King Abdullah announced that he would not extend the least for another 25-year period,
leaving Israeli farmers who use the sites uncertain of their future access to the areas.
In exchange for Jordan’s cooperation $45 billion dollars would be compensated in foreign grants and funding for various projects.
In addition, Saudi Arabia would cede to Jordan territory along the Saudi-Jordanian border roughly equivalent in size to Naharayim and Tzofar.
Jordan would also be asked to form a tripartite confederation with the Palestinian Authority and Israeli Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria, the report claimed – a request Jordan has expressed concerns about.
Lebanon will be urged to grant citizenship to all Palestinian Arabs currently living in the country.
The roughly 450,000 Palestinian Arabs in Lebanon have largely been denied citizenship by the Lebanese government,
which has restricted their rights since their entry in 1948.
Egypt would also play a major role in the peace deal.
American officials have floated the idea of opening up large swathes of the Sinai Peninsula near the Gaza Strip for the establishment of industrial zones for Gaza’s burgeoning population.
While the territories in question would not be annexed to Gaza under the Trump plan,
Egypt would grant Gazan workers expanded access to portions of the northeastern Sinai.
Egypt would receive some $65 billion in foreign grants and payments for projects in northern Sinai.
