Clinton: "Israel risks losing Arab support in its fight against the Iranian threat ..."

YNETnews, here
"....... it can't stay on the sidelines with respect to the Palestinians and the peace efforts. They go hand in hand," Clinton told the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee. Clinton said she believes the shared fear of Iran presents an opportunity for Israel and Arab states to form a united front vis-à-vis the Shiite state.... Arab leaders she met "believe that Israel's willingness to reenter into discussions with the Palestinian Authority strengthens them in being able to deal with Iran," Clinton said. "Every country with whom I have personally met - and that's most of them by now - wants very much to support the strongest possible posture toward Iran."
