Former Egyptian Foreign Minister Criticizes Israel’s Approach to Peace

Mohamed El-Arabi, Egypt’s former foreign minister, has criticized Israel’s approach to peace in the Middle East. El-Arabi asserts that Israel has never taken the initiative to propose its own peace treaty, instead consistently engaging in peace agreements organized by Arab nations. He contends that Israel has never presented a comprehensive peace model and has historically reacted to situations rather than acting proactively. He further points out that Israel’s presence in the Middle East is accompanied by an ideology that clashes with the region’s values and principles, viewing itself as the sole power in the area. According to El-Arabi, Israel demonstrates a sense of superiority over the Middle East, failing to align with the region’s priorities of peace, stability, and development. He criticizes Israel’s actions as counterproductive to these goals, viewing it as a destabilizing force that undermines peace efforts and hinders regional development.
