Part 2/5:
The Arab World’s Responsibility
Sha argued that president Trump's directive requires Arab nations to increase their involvement in dismantling Hamas’s influence, notably through diplomatic, financial, and military means. In this context, it is essential to foster a credible Palestinian Authority to replace Hamas and disrupt the group's financing and military capabilities.
Changes in Arab Attitudes
The discussion also noted a shift in the traditionally held belief among Arab states that the Palestinian issue was not their problem. King Abdullah of Jordan and President Sisi of Egypt are both active in dialogues in Washington, while Marco Rubio is slated to meet with leaders in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, indicating a possible shift in responsibility.
