Israeli Security Official: Moderate Arab States View Abbas as Irrelevant
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Moderate Sunni Arab states which are on track to normalize relations with Israel view PA President Mahmoud Abbas as irrelevant, former top Israel Security Agency official Harris Barbing told the Jerusalem Post on Sunday. "The Palestinian issue is not a focus of the Arab states." Though Abbas has reduced security coordination with Israel more than expected, Barbing said the PA has been meticulous to stop or warn Israel about any terror operations. He said this is a core PA interest so that Israel does not accuse it of being connected to terror.
