Former Jordanian Minister: Arabs Need to Act Pragmatically regarding the Palestinian Cause
(MEMRI-TV) Former Jordanian minister and diplomat Ahmad Masa'deh told Roya TV (Jordan) on July 1: "The time has come for us to think somewhat realistically....There is a new reality that we - the Arab world or Arab countries - must acknowledge, whether we like it or not....The global [players] who have influence support Israel....As a former ambassador to the EU, let me tell you: We won't get anything beyond condemnations from them." "Some countries are engaged in civil wars, and other countries have crossed their traditional political boundaries and are now directly cooperating with the Israeli side....Why should we in Jordan...be responsible for this cause all by ourselves?...Where are the Arabs and the Muslims? Nowhere."
