I think if you put the Egyptian government on a polygraph, they would say that they would rather share a border with Israel than with a Palestian-controlled State. Not coincidentally, the Palestians lay claim to all of the Sinai. That would be a very entertaining "intifadah."
Every middle-east country loaths the idea of a palestinian 5th column rearing its head.
Its why the kuwaitis, jordanians, saudi's, and just about every other country around there doesn't allow them to permenatly immigrate there or buy land.
They supported the intifada simply because it kept the pals all in one confined area fighting the israelis, rather than having to worry about Arafat unleashing them upon other countries.
Funny how during the intifada which the middle-eastern countries milked for all they could to blame israel for everyone misery, they never talk about how palestinians helped cordinate Saddam's attack on Kuwait or how Arafat was kicked out of Jordan and 10,000 palestinians killed by the Jordanian king because Arafat tried to pull a coup with Syria's backing.
Saudi Arabia doesn't allow Palestinians to immigrate to the kingdom and make it virtually impossible for them to get work visas.
It goes on, and on, and on.....
I have never seen or heard this before. Do you have a source?I'd like to know more.
