Olmert: War in Lebanon changed way Arab nations think of Israel
"The Riyadh summit is a very serious affair. The content is important but it is also necessary to take into account the atmosphere, positioning and direction of the summit," said Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at a formal reception in Jerusalem on Thursday.
"There is a process here that the fighting in Lebanon brought in to focus. This process has brought the influential Arab nations in the world to realize that Israel is not the greatest of all their troubles. This is a revolutionary change in their perception," said Olmert. (Ronny Sofer)
