Abdullah rejects W. Bank confederacy | Jerusalem Post: "Jordan's King Abdullah II flatly rejected a confederation with the Palestinians on Sunday, calling any such proposal at the current time a 'conspiracy' against his kingdom and the Palestinians, a local newspaper reported."

This isn't as bad as it sounds, though it isn't great. King Abdullah will follow his father's formula, and only go for confederation if the Palestinians ask for it in connection with a peace treaty with Israel. Good luck, with the weakling Abbas in charge. This lack of leadership by the little king will ultimately contribute to destabilizing Jordan.
