Further Normalization Agreements Are on the Horizon
(JNS) Malcolm Hoenlein interviewed by Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh - Malcolm Hoenlein, Vice Chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, noted in a recent interview that relations between Arab countries and Israel have drastically improved, with further normalization agreements on the horizon. Despite the Palestinian leadership still believing that the Arab world should support them unconditionally, Arab countries are now willing to break ranks. Hoenlein said: "Contrary to those expectations, Israel is seen as the source of stability in the region, not instability. I can tell you that major Arab leaders said to us, 'if I asked my people to name the top 50 issues, this wouldn't even make it. They want relations with Israel.'...They're tired of being held hostage by the Palestinians."
