It is the last stronghold of colonialism in the 21st century and runs against the progress of history. - Saudi Arabias Crown Prince Salman bin Abdel-Aziz, said Israels policies undermine any hope toward a peaceful settlement, including the construction of Jewish settlements and insisting on the Jewishness of Israel. - Qatars ruler criticized fellow Arab leaders for not following through on a Qatari proposal made a year ago to set up a $1 billion fund to help the Arab residents of E.
