Middle East Peace Process
- Share via
From the beginning, Arab countries have disputed Israel’s right to be a nation in their midst. They are not going to make peace just because the Palestinians get their rights. They have their own agendas and it will take long and hard negotiations to make that peace.
The sooner the Arab countries understand this, the sooner the climate will arrive for the aspirations of the Palestinians. In the present state of affairs, the Arab countries would almost certainly use a new Palestinian entity to get at Israel. They will have the ability and power to do this.
