Haaretz: Palestinians Seek Emergency Arab League Session Over Israel’s Warming Ties With Arab States
Developments such as Netanyahu’s visit to Oman, a visit by Chad’s president in Israel and reports on Israeli attempts to tighten relations with Sudan and Bahrain in the future are ‘worrisome’, says Abbas adviser Nabil Sha’ath
Palestinians seek emergency Arab League session over Israel’s warming ties with Arab states
Palestinian Authority officials are seeking emergency sessions of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation over Israel’s increasingly close ties with some Arab countries and what is seen as the normalization of relations with Israel.
The Palestinian delusion about their situation and the geopolitical realities is getting clearer and more explicit as the time goes on.
Prominent Singaporean diplomat has this to say:
If you cant read the embedded facebook post:
The Palestinian issue is being marginalised.
But the reality is this is only making explicit what has been implicit for many years.
The periodic dramatic moves at the UN and other international organisations are precisely that: dramas, ‘sound and fury, signifying nothing’ undertaken and supported in order to give political cover for substantive lack of interest by many — if not most —Arab and Muslim governments in the Middle East and Africa who have using the issue to distract their peoples from domestic issues for years.
Southeast Asian Muslims should take note. There is no need to — to use a slightly inappropriate metaphor — to be holier than the Pope.

This not surprising, as I had written in a previous article on the Palestinian issue, that the Arab world actually do not really care much about the plight of the Palestinian – paying only lip service just to show “solidarity” – but with no concrete actions to actually follow up on it.
As I wrote:
A Battle Between Rhetoric & Real Power
The entire Palestinian support is lack of substance and full of fluff. Palestine did not suffer only today or this year – they had been suffering for decades – and had their sovereignty fully undermined by the Israeli right from the establishment of the Jewish state after World War 2. 3 wars were fought (subjectively speaking, for the Palestinians), and 3 wars lost. Intifada after intifada, nothing had changed, but more suffering for the Palestinians.All the political and diplomatic support given to the Palestinians will be for naught, if the countries are unwilling to go to war for Palestine. Similarly, a half hearted coalition going to war for Palestine and risk losing once again to the Israeli will only aggravate the situation for Palestine, as per every war against Israel, only reduces Palestinian territory.
