“The Israeli prime minister came here today and said that Israel is surrounded by those who want to destroy it,” Safadi said at a Friday press conference shortly after Netanyahu finished his speech at the UN General Assembly.

“We’re here — members of the Muslim-Arab committee, mandated by 57 Arab and Muslim countries — and I can tell you very unequivocally, all of us are willing to guarantee the security of Israel in the context of Israel ending the occupation and allowing for the emergence of a Palestinian state,” Safadi passionately argued.

Netanyahu “is creating that danger because he simply does not want the two-state solution. If he does not want the two-state solution, can you ask Israeli officials what is their end-game — other than just wars and wars and wars?”

      You were talking about Ukraine and Russia. That’s two neighbours. My comparison is reasonable.

        I was talking about how neither side actually trusts each other. You were saying with trust peace is possible, but the cause for that peace was that Germany was solidly defeated, occupied and had their arm twisted in the matter. It’s not really the same as what the situation is as of now with Israel and Arab world.

          I honestly cannot see how the Arab world’s arm can be further twisted. Israel is the one doing the ethnic cleansing, if anything it’s their arm that needs to be twisted.

            That’s what I mean, I don’t think it will happen. Security guarantees from each other won’t work.
