“There are going to be a lot of questions, not just in my country, but across the Middle East. Is Israel going to continue to be "Fortress Israel"? Or, as we all hope, become accepted into the neighborhood, which I believe is the only way we can move forward in harmony. And no matter what's happening in the Middle East - the Arab Spring, et cetera, the economic challenges, high rates of unemployment - the emotional, critical issue is always the Israeli-Palestinian one.” WayBelieveCountryMatterMovingI BelieveChallengesIssuesEconomicMiddleEmotionalSpringHappeningsHarmonyNo Matter WhatRateIsraelCriticalEastAcceptedMoving ForwardNeighborhoodMiddle EastPalestinianUnemploymentIsraeliFortressesArab Spring Author:Abdallah II
