Senior Palestinian official Bassam al-Salihi tells The Times of Israel that the Arab diplomats’ Sde Boker summit will not help the Palestinians, “whatever their reasoning.”

“The Palestinian issue won’t be present in this summit. If it is present, it will be on Israel’s terms,” says Al-Salihi, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Executive Committee.
