Netanyahu: Arab States Are Looking for Links with Israel Because It Is Strong
(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a conference of Israeli ambassadors in Jerusalem on Sunday: "We are in a process of normalization with the Arab world without progress in the diplomatic process with the Palestinians. The expectation was that progress or a breakthrough with the Palestinians would open links for us with the Arab world." "Today we are going there without the Palestinians being involved and it is much stronger because it does not depend on their caprices. The Arab states are looking for links with the strong. Cultivating strengths gives us diplomatic power. It is more likely that it will work in reverse. Links with the Arab world will bring normalization and create the conditions for developing links with the Palestinians."
