The New Mideast Alignment
[Jerusalem Post] Barry Rubin - The Middle East has undergone a dramatic shift in alignments. On one side are Hizbullah, Iran, Syria, and Hamas - and on the other side, virtually every other Arab state, whose interests parallel those of Israel and the U.S. All the Arab states except Syria oppose Iran getting nuclear weapons. They all support the current Lebanese government. PA chief executive Mahmoud Abbas is and will always be someone who lacks the power to do anything. Moreover, despite lots of chatter about new elections, Fatah has done absolutely zero to revitalize or unite itself.
