"Israel can no longer claim that there are no moderate states or partners in peace in the region. However, instead of declaring its approval of the Arab initiative and considering it a favorable opportunity for peace – which it is –, it preferred to play a public relations game with this historical opportunity, with the intention of just scoring points.
We saw Israel trying its best to embarrass the Saudis with flattery, knowing that its praise is viewed as condemnation in our Arab world.
The Saudis did not heed and proceeded with responsible political action.
Peace needs an international deterrent, and I doubt that Bush is capable of doing this. When the late Arafat (may God rest his soul) missed out on the so-called Clinton proposal, his actions were labeled a crime. Today, we are undoubtedly faced with the Olmert crime. Olmert is not a man of peace but a statesman who wants to score points."
