Today while we remember the King of the Hearts , HM King Hussein of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan who is residing in peace in the Divine Kingdom of the Lord

With great modesty I declare that through my PhD studies during 2004-2009 when I had access to off the record documents and conducted very informative unprecedented interviews with key public figures worldwide foremost in the Arab states, in Sweden, in Israel and in the West Bank, I underline the following:

If certain Arab leaders listened to the advice of HM King Hussein, 1967 war would not have happened thus not losing the Holy City of Jerusalem.

HM King Hussein turned a key figure from being a hawk into a dove thus activating a true and just peace process in the Middle East foremost Jordan having its occupied lands liberated within the peace agreement of 1994.

Out of concern for and belief in a Palestinian state, HM King Hussein put forward a great initiative of the United Kingdom between the two banks in 1972 which I with great pride tackled in a private letter to the Swedish peacemaker Gunnar Jarring asking for his opinion which was very positive.

This said, a key question arises which requires a sincere and honest answer.

If this great initiative of HM King Hussein of 1972 on the United Kingdom between the two banks was realized, a kingdom protected by the great Arab Army of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and by the wise Hashemite Leadership, would the Arab world have witnessed the birth of the Palestinian State already in 1970s ?

Given the above mentioned and surely many other rich national Arab contributions of HM King Hussein, HM King Hussein, Abu Abdullah II was indeed the most loyal public figure to the Holy Lands.

HM King Hussein Abu Abdullah II who on several occasions throughout several decades said

“I do not accept anything without Jerusalem"

A statement which well explains Jordan not entering into a peace agreement with Israel except after the Palestinian Authority took a certain path on their own, severed its relations with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and signed their own peace Agreement with Israel in Oslo in 1993.

Rest in peace Our King of the Hearts, Our angel of peace, Our true guardian of the Holy Lands. Yes rest in Peace as your Legacy is well preserved by your loving son HM King Abdullah II.
