King Abdullah met with Mahmoud Abbas on Monday, 11/21/11.
 Arutz Sheva by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu (excerpts):  Jordan's King Abdullah visited Ramallah for the first time in 11 years on Monday - two days before Abbas and Hamas are to renew a unity government.  The king did not state the reason for his visit, other than to declare his support for the establishment of the Palestinian Authority as a state and his opposition to a Jewish presence in all of the land claimed by the PA.  The monarch is faced with a brewing civil war on his border with Syria and growing descent by Bedouin and Arabs in Jordan who claim Israel as their homeland.  He may be worried about the prospect of Hamas returning to a unified Palestinian Authority government, which is conditioned on the removal of American-backed Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.  Despite Abdullah's support of PA claims, a senior aide says Jordan does not consider Israel's preagreement to withdraw from Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley a condition for the renewal of direct talks between PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Israel.  Abbas has frozen talks for more than two years because of his demand and the king's rare visit may have been timed with the visit of US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, who met with Abbas Sunday night, and is to talk with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday, as the Obama administration continues to struggle to revive the long dead diplomatic process.  A unity government of the Fatah faction headed by Abbas, and Hamas, would be another nail in the American diplomatic coffin.  

Commentary:   These alliances have all been foretold by the prophet and king, David, "They have taken crafty council against Your people...They have consulted together with one consent; they are confederate against You.  The tabernacles of Edom (modern day Jordan), the Ishmaelites, Moab (also part of Jordan), the Hagarenes (Saudi Arabia, who is also now against Israel), Gebal (Lebanon, who is against Israel), Ammon (Jordan), Amalek (Iran - against Israel), the Philistines (Gaza - against Israel) with the inhabitants of Tyre (Lebanon), Assur (Iraq - against Israel) also joined with them, they have helped the children of Lot" Psalm 83:3-8.  Once these nations gather together in these last days against Israel, which is happening now, God is going to bring them together into the Kidron Vally for a great and final defeat.  "It will come to pass in that day that I (the Lord) will seek to destroy all nations that come against Jerusalem" Zechariah 12:9.  "I will gather all nations and bring them into the valley of Jehoshaphat (Kidron Valley) and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations and parted My land" Joel 3:2.
