Liberman Proposes Dismantling PA, Transferring Administration to Jordan

Avigdor Liberman, leader of the Israel Beytenu party, has unveiled a new political proposal for Judea and Samaria that includes dismantling the Palestinian Authority and voiding the Oslo Accords. Under his plan, Jordan would assume responsibility for the daily administration of the Palestinian population in Areas A and B, with a Jordanian police force tasked with maintaining order. Israel would retain overall security control and ensure territorial continuity. Liberman stated his goal is to prevent both a Palestinian state and a political vacuum that could be exploited by groups like Hamas or Islamic Jihad. He believes the security cooperation between Israel and Jordan remains strong, making Amman a suitable partner for this role. For Gaza, Liberman advocates a separate strategy: the IDF would first eliminate Hamas's military and civilian branches, after which administration would be transferred to an external entity acceptable to Arab nations and the international community. Liberman presented this as a "fourth way," distinct from Israeli sovereignty over the entire territory, a Palestinian state, or the status quo.
