Jordan PM Hints at Support for One Israeli-Palestinian State

Associated Press

   JERUSALEM - Jordan's prime minister says the kingdom would look
   "positively" on the creation of a binational state that guarantees
   equal rights to Israelis and Palestinians if Israel's proposed
   annexation of parts of the occupied West Bank closes the door on a
   two-state solution.

   The international community and the Palestinian leadership remain
   committed to a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict. Israel
   rejects the idea of a binational state, fearing an eventual Palestinian
   majority would endanger its existence as a Jewish and democratic state.
