Elon noted that, given a viable home to move to and the opportunity for national self-determination, these refugees did not cultivate the desire to return to the Arab lands where they had lived in most cases for nearly 2,000 years, despite all the possessions and property they had left behind.
Elon concluded that in a gradual and peaceful way, by consent of all nations involved, negotiators ought to formulate a plan to integrate the Palestinian population in the refugee camps with the Palestinian population in Jordan to form a viable nation capable of self-determination with the necessary territorial integrity for independence.
Elon presented his plan not as one that would please every individual affected by it, but as one that would constructively seek a regional political resolution to what he sees at the major problem in Israel.

Benny Elon is a leader of a right-wing faction that appears likely to gain a few seats for its small bloc in Israel’s parliamentary election next week.

Head of the Moledet parliamentary bloc, Rabbi Benny Elon, met with Jordanian officials, among them Prince Hassan, and presented his political plan to turn Jordan into a Palestinian state.
