'What's Wrong with the Palestinians Appealing to the UN?'
An interview with Arab League Head Nabil Elaraby
'What's Wrong with the Palestinians Appealing to the UN?'
An interview with Arab League Head Nabil Elaraby
Pro-democracy uprisings are continuing in the Middle East and the Palestinians could soon declare statehood. SPIEGEL spoke with Arab League General Secretary Nabil Elaraby about the Syrian regime's use of violence against protesters and how the US has failed to force Israel to negotiate in good faith.
SPIEGEL: Libya has been liberated from Moammar Gadhafi's autocratic rule. Tensions in Syria, meanwhile, have already claimed more civilian lives than the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia combined, and yet the Arab League is holding back. Why are you going easy on the Syrian regime?
Elaraby: Syria isn't Libya. Libya has always been largely isolated. What happened there had little effect on neighboring countries. It's a completely different situation with Syria. The country holds a key position in the region. What happens there has a direct impact on Lebanon and Iraq. In addition, Gadhafi used heavy weapons from the start, but Assad hasn't.
SPIEGEL: Yet tanks have been deployed in Hama, Homs and Latakia for some time.
Elaraby: When I flew to Syria 10 days after taking office, they also tried to tell me that there had been no riots in Aleppo or Damascus. I was told that gun battles had only occurred in a few towns near the border, because rebels had fired on security forces there.
