Arab Message from Warsaw: No PA Veto over Contact with Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - The foreign ministers of Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, UAE, Oman, Kuwait and Morocco are in Warsaw to take part in the U.S.-Polish sponsored meeting on Mideast peace and security. The mere fact that so many Arab states decided to attend the conference is significant because the Palestinians asked them not to come. This shows that much of the Arab world is no longer comfortable in handing veto power to the Palestinians over their ties with Israel. The long-held assumption that the Arab world would not deal with Israel until the Palestinian issue is solved has proven empty.
