FEW ENOUGH FRIENDS LEFT:

Israel's foreign minister says Jordan is a stabilizing element, not future Palestinian state (Associated Press, November 14, 2011)

At Israel's parliament Monday, Avigdor Lieberman said, "Talk about Jordan as a Palestinian state damages Israel." He praised the neighboring country as a "stabilizing element in the region."

Palestinians make up about half of Jordan's population. A fringe minority of Israelis believe a Palestinian state should be founded there. A Lieberman spokesman said he has never said Jordan should be the Palestinian state.
