(MEMRI-TV) On Feb. 12, 2020, French-Moroccan Professor Youssef Chiheb told France 24 Arabic TV: "Israel is not an enemy of Morocco. Furthermore, in the past, it provided some intelligence services....The Arab world has been brainwashed with anti-Zionist and anti-Israeli rhetoric. But the world has changed and so has the balance of power in the Middle East. Other dangers have risen....The Arab way of thinking towards Israel has become archaic. Israel must be dealt with as an existing state." Q: "So the Palestinian cause is over?" Chiheb: "The Palestinian cause is between the Palestinians and Israel." Q: "For many years, the Palestinian cause has been the number one cause of the Arabs." Chiheb: "It was in the old days, but it's over. It was part of the common tune, but all the Arab regimes have used the Palestinian cause for domestic purposes. No Arab leader has offered any solution for the Palestinians."
