“And so we can learn about another side of the deal: The dignitaries who for the past year have been engaged in preparing it have no compassion for their Egyptian and Saudi friends. There is no respect for Arab public opinion. There is only respect for Jews in the world, and not for all of them,” the newspaper said.

The newspaper added the leaders of Arab countries (according to Haaretz’s Jack Khoury last week) begged the Americans not even to publicize their plan, so that their regimes, which are shaky in any case, won’t be destabilized.

It stated that the Apparently none of the leaders of Arab countries in the U.S. sphere of influence was able to force the hand of the Palestinian prisoners of freedom in the West Bank and Gaza.

“Now it’s becoming clear that the plan was designed not only to sink Palestinian interests, but also to impose the total cost on Arab states. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, which channel hundreds of billions to America, are also supposed to pay the cost of the destruction that Israel is causing the Palestinians,” the newspaper mentioned.
