Palestinians Prefer to Cling to Hopeless Dreams
(Israel Hayom) Prof. Eyal Zisser - What's bothering the Palestinians isn't the declaration of peace between Israel and the UAE, or the fact that most Arab countries welcome and support it, a few evening signaling that they would soon join the journey toward peace. It's that the Palestinians have been left on their own, and the Arab world, which was supposed to fight their battles for them, is now lining up to make peace with Israel. Basically, only Iran and Turkey took a stand against the Israel-UAE peace deal, and even they didn't do so for the sake of the Palestinians, but because they see the deal as hurting their own status in the region. The Palestinians prefer to cling to dreams that will never come true and anger, disappointment, and frustration that will lead them nowhere.
