The Arab region is facing a 'serious crisis,' says Egypt's Sisi at Arab Summit
2018-04-16
[AlAhram] Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi said on Sunday that Arab countries are facing unprecedented threats, while criticising regional states that aim to increase their influence in Arab countries.

Speaking at the Arab Summit held in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, El-Sisi said that Arab countries are facing the "most serious crisis since their independence" from occupation, citing attempts to interfere in Arab countries as well as setbacks in efforts to resolve the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.

"There are regional states that are not respecting the principles of neighbourliness and are working hard to establish spheres of influence within the Arab states," El-Sisi told leaders of countries in the 22-member Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
"The army of one of the regional countries is present on the land of two Arab countries, in a state of explicit occupation," he said during a speech broadcast live on TV, without elaborating further.
Oooo, ooooo, I know! It’s Iran, right?
El-Sisi added that "another regional party" exploited instability in the region in recent years to "built up areas of influence in more than one Arab country."
Or maybe that is Iran?
On Paleostine, El-Sisi warned that non-activated international decisions on the conflict with Israel as well as division between Paleostinian factions threaten Paleostinians' longstanding hope for a state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Uh oh.
Saudi Arabia currently holds the rotating chair of the Arab summit. King Salman
...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Lord of Most of the Arabians....
has said that the ongoing Arab summit would be named the ’Jerusalem Summit.’

El-Sisi said the "Arab right to Paleostine is a fixed and legitimate right that cannot be rewritten or appropriated,"
No it isn’t, actually, no matter how much Muslim countries and other Jew-hating types might pretend otherwise. But it is interesting that they keep telling themselves so.
referring to an Egyptian-drafted UN General Assembly resolution calling for the United States to reverse its December decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The UN resolution was backed by a majority of UN-member countries in December.
Y’all keep saying that as if the General Assembly mattered...
El-Sisi also called for a comprehensive strategy to preserve national security in Arab countries to protect against any attack or foreign interference.

El-Sisi also referred to a ballistic missile launched across the Yemeni border in Saudi Arabia, which targeted Riyadh and was intercepted by Saudi air defences last week.

"Egypt will not accept Yemeni elements bombing Saudi territory with ballistic missiles, as this constitutes a threat to Arab national security," he told the gathering.
That’s nice, dear. But as you don’t want to send large numbers of troops, there is no practical difference between accepting and not accepting.

#4  Funny thing in California is a lot of the signage (housing developments mostly) are in a pseudo Spanish. Not real words but they look Spanish. OF course who's gonna say boo when Spanish speaking people tend to be priced out of those areas anyway.

#2  since the street signs in Israel are in arabic as well as hebrew and english, it seems to me that this 'arab right' to palestine already exists under Israeli jurisdiction

there are even streets and towns named for famous sheiks

An Arab is an Arab: a "moderate one" is just one practicing Taquia.
