Ties With Israel
While going through the daily news, I came across this article on the english website of Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth about Turkish and Tunisian ties with Israel.
The article talks about an interview the prime ministers from both countries had with the London based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper, which reported on the visit of both prime ministers to Abu Dhabi, where they spoke about relations with Israel.
Both prime ministers say that their countries' ties with Israel serve the Palestinian cause and are aimed at finding a solution to the conflict.
The article goes on to say that Tunisian prime minister, Mr. Mohamed El Ghannoushi said that there was no direct conflict between Tunisia and Israel, and that his country was fully ready to recognize Israel and normalize ties, but added that this would “only happen when the Palestinian people receive their rights.”
This is a very important message that I think every Arab and Muslim country should stress on and send out clearly to Israel; that ties won't be normalized until Palestinians get all their rights within a lasting peace solution.
The online version of the Al-Quds Al-Arabi article is available on their site here (in Arabic).

I believe in negotiation as the only mean Palestine will get any rights, dialogue should stay open, even with Israel, I agree with you that there is no way of establishing normal relationships w/Israel, but there is no way of giving up dialogue or negotiation either.
PS:Nice blog!
