for many years? They certainly thrived openly during the Rabin premiership years in the early 1990's.

7. Oman's courting of the Judeo-Nazi state is very unpopular

8. Normalizing Relations With Israel
Mike 71 ,   Los Angeles   (11.01.18)
Mahmoud Abbas complains that the Sultan of Oman and other Gulf State leaders will normalize relations with Israel before there is a resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict. If so, there is something that he must do; he must act very quickly to normalize his own relations with Israel, before the Gulf State leadership does. Abbas should start by immediately resuming direct negotiations with Israel to reach a conclusion to the conflict. This would be a fascinating race; I would put my money on the Gulf State leadership to win, rather than the plodding tortus-like Abbas!
