Palestinians angry at Oman for hosting Netanyahu

Today, Israel announced that PM Netanyahu had made a "secret visit" to Oman to meet  Sultan Qaboos  and discuss regional issues.

It was covered pretty extensively in Oman's media:



Notably, Mahmoud Abbas also visited the Sultan earlier this week.


Oman released a statement about the two visits, saying "The visit of Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas to the Sultanate (October 21-23) and the visit of the Israeli Prime Minister, and His Majesty the Sultan’s audience to both of them have many positive implications about the role of the Sultanate in serving peace through dialogue, whether in the case of the Palestinian issue or in the case of Yemen, Libya and other Arab and regional issues. It reflects a deep faith in peace and efforts for stability and prosperity in all countries and people of the region and their aspiration for a better future."

But Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party doesn't see it that way.

Mohamed Shtayyeh, Fatah Central Committee spokesman, said sadly, "Normalization has begun and the Arab peace initiative ended. The system of values and Arab political and social contracts also collapsed. And we have no one but ourselves. "

At the same time, Fatah also condemned the UAE and Qatar for hosting Israeli athletes at international competitions.

The Arab world is changing, yet the Palestinian leaders are still acting as if the Arab world is still fully behind them and will be ashamed to be within a hundred miles of an Israeli.

They are more afraid of the Trump peace plan than ever.
