National Union Knesset Member Prof. Aryeh Eldad declared that Arabs in Judea, Samaria and Gaza have no need for a new Arab state because one already exists for them in Jordan.

"Seventy percent of Jordan is Palestinian," he said, criticizing Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni for thinking that Israeli Arabs will be satisfied with a new PA state within the current borders of Israel. "Whoever surrenders Judea and Samaria will not succeed in stopping the Galilee and Negev" from becoming part of the proposed PA state, MK Eldad added.
