Palestinians should quit blaming Arab allies for their failures, feuding and violence, and take responsibility. There’s a brave new dawn in Arab-Israeli relations: Which Arabs have the courage to embrace it?
The old ways of hatred and wars have gained us nothing. Joining the new path of Arab-Israeli peace and cooperation would strengthen the Palestinians – and it would be a big win for Beirut, too
I am a lifelong supporter of Palestinian rights. I am also a realist. Reducing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians will end 70 years of misery – and enable the Gulf states and Israel to halt our common enemy: Iran
Israel is going nowhere, and we in the Arab world have to deal with it. That means offering Israelis prosperity, security and friendship; all Israel needs to do is overcome their prejudices and give Palestinians their rights
