Tony Blair: Israel's Relationship with Gulf Arab States Is Reason for Hope
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Lee Harpin - Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in an online interview described Israel's relationship with the Gulf states as "the biggest reason for hope in the Middle East." Blair said he had spent the last few years working on forging this relationship, which he said was not purely a ''security relationship.'' "Yes it's true they both have security interests in common. They are both worried about Iran. The other thing is that there is a new and emerging leadership in the Middle East that really wants to modernize their countries to make sure that religion isn't abused and turned into a political ideology."
