(Israel Hayom) Eldad Beck - Abd Al-Hamid Al-Ansari, former dean of Islamic Law at Qatar University, told Israel Hayom in Doha, the Qatari capital: "The Arab regimes are today demonstrating more flexibility [on] normalization [with Israel] and political and economic cooperation with it, in particular in the Gulf region. We see this also in the media." "In the past, contact with Israel was considered treason, and today there is no mass opposition to it. And the Arabs have been convinced that Israel exists, that it cannot be destroyed by force and that it is preferable to negotiate with it. For 70 years, the Arabs tried every means of violence against Israel and saw that it only grows more powerful as they grow weaker." "The Arabs discovered that the Palestinians themselves are divided and conflicted between the [Palestinian] Authority and Hamas. If the owners of the problem themselves are fighting one another, others have no problem looking for justification for reconciliation with Israel."
