Jordan's Palestinian Queen Rania and King AbdullahIsrael cannot cede control over any part of the West Bank without being assured that someone credible is in charge. Rockets from the West Bank could hit, and close, Israel's international airport. That is an intolerable risk.
The only way to balance the Palestinians' need for sovereignty now with Israel's need for a withdrawal now, but without creating a security vacuum, is to enlist a trusted third party - Jordan - to help the Palestinians control whatever West Bank land is ceded to them.
