Now, just because the Hashemite house is afraid that in due time, Palestinians will not want to be governed by, essentially, a Saudi Prince, it does not means that the Palestinians really need two separate states. A Saudi Prince? King Abdullah, and the Hashemites are hardly "Saudi".. Now maybe if you restated it like this "Palestinians will not want to be governed by, essentially, an Arabian King,...." it might make more sense. But the Hashemites do not particularly like the Saudis.. Especially since they were dethroned in the Hijaz by the Saudis and their "Moslem Brotherhood".. In fact, I see a likelihood of a growing Hashemite influence in Iraq. And the Saudis would certainly attempt to discourage that, lest they lose their own legitimacy as rulers of the Arabia peninsula.
