The foreign minister of the UAE accused the Palestinian Authority’s leadership of being like “Ali Baba and the 40 thieves” as frustration among moderate Arab states over the PA's lack of reform and progress towards a two-state solution mounts. When moderate Arab states are at odds with extremist protestors, the influence of Hamas propaganda in the West becomes obvious, yet so few see beyond it. Unlike protestors who only demand accountability from Israel, those who actually care about peace understand that it takes two to tango. Effective Palestinian leadership can’t only demand rights. It needs to take responsibility as well.
