The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says Gulf Arab countries “have no investment” in the Palestinian cause which is why “not one of them” has broken diplomatic relations with Israel.
There are growing calls for restraint as the world reacts to Iran’s aerial bombardment of Israel.
It is Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on its neighbour.
Israel says more than 300 missiles and drones were fired by Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, but most were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace.
“The four Muslim nations – regional nations … which have made peace agreements and exchanged diplomatic relations with Israel under Trump, not one of them has broken diplomatic relations as a result of the Gaza war,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“The Gulf Arabs really have no investment in the Palestinian cause.
“They certainly have no investment in Hamas.”
