Adbullah: Israel is not as powerful as we thought


In an interview to a Japanese newspaper, Jordan's king Abdullah spoke on the Middle East. Abdullah stated that the war with Hezbollah last summer showed that Israel is not as powerful as was previously thought and that the region views the war as one in which Israel lost. He said that he feared that the war may lead other countries to believe that the way of force is the only way to come to terms with Israel and hoped that Israel will take steps to calm the flaring tempers in the region.
Abdullah expressed the view that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the crux of the matter.
Abdullah predicted that 2007 will see 3 civil wars in the Middle East: Iraq, Lebanon, and in the Palestinian Terriotories.
