What do Arab nations think about the Israel-Iran tensions? | DW News
As Israel considers its response to Iran's attack and continues to fight its war against Hamas in Gaza, there are fears over where these regional tensions could head. The international community is observing with great interest how Arab nations in the region now react. It's a complex part of the world with many rivals, both political and religious, vying for influence. Israel's neighbor Jordan and regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia both appeared to help defend Israel from Iran's missiles - to the surprise of many. Both countries are involved in a complicated balancing act, making it difficult to predict their future actions.

Iran are Persians, they don’t identify as Arabs
True.
Who cares. It's all radical Islam. Whether Persian or Arab.
Imagine not being able to recover from their defeat at Thermopylae in 480 BC
@vectorfox4782 Iran has spent most of history up until the 1700s being either a regional power or a world power, in the modern era it's geopolitical strength resurfaced after the revolution where despite a crippled economy, half the middle east reside under its command.
@@vectorfox4782I think they were on the offense on the Greek land at the time.. Alexander’s Seleucid empire ruled Iran for 150 years though and ended the Achaemenid Persian era.
Arab Nations love their Louis Vuitton and Prada bags so much that they refuse to take part in the war

Dont forget the air jordan 1s,,,,Jeeezzz
Why lose men and money
The Palestinians tried to kill the King’s father and take over Jordan.
as they say from the mountain to the sea Iran will be free
@@thethinkingman- I would not want to be Iran right now. They internal strife, terrorism from ISIS, a conflict with the Kurds, they are fighting with the Afghan Taliban, fighting with Baluchistan and growing conflict with ethnic Azerbaijanis. Then they go pick a fight with Israel.
And God said let the mountains crumble to the Sea.... Israel will set your soul free.... As written in the book of destiny's....
A Palestinian killed the king of Jordan! Palestinians are 60% of the population of Jordan they don't have to kill the king to take over they already have it
@@Rick-qf5de heheheh well said
Everybody talks, But behind the scene money talks the loudest!
Jordan king is a puppet
That standard of living in Jordan is better than Iran
@@hangten1904 True,. because the puppet king is not rebuilding the Persian Empire :). and is not sanctioned.
@@hangten1904Thats because Jordan cant really support itself and depends heavily on handouts from the west. So they need to show a good effort to keep the west sugar daddies happy.
@@hangten1904 maybe you have never been to the ME in your life. majority Jordanians live below the poverty while EU, US and gulf states are pumping them with billions of Dollars, while IRAN is under western sanctions for over a four decades, but still thriving and no one is starving in there
Lol @@Amen.ahmed1
All we need is peace
How phone peace
Israel doesn't want peace and never will.
Earth could leave better if all could be Equal Humans regardless customs.
If Israel goes ahead, Iran will settle Israel one peace at a time.
@@ianbirkinhead4103Israel would smoke Iran
“The enemy of my enemy, is my friend.”
Truth begins reality. Jordan knows plenty of History and have see dat Israel was not to destroy anyone. On 1967 Israel won on six days without trying to take all dat some overt gountriest may have done. Israel wanted Peace for all. After Peace Israel plenty of show dat no country have done as if read real History and never taking a peace of anything . Just read.
In this case the enemy of my enemy is a friend of my enemy's other friend but not the enemy of my friends other enemy.
Pro Israeli media don't talk about occupation and Palestinians but talk about Iran.
Gaza isn't occupied. It's governed by Humus. Actually, the Palestinians elected them as their goverment.
@@jankaufmann4305 Then why are they not recognized by the world? If they can governed their own place why is everything so heavily connected to Israel?
@@jankaufmann4305really? Then what is currency of gaza or plasetine? Do they have airports or ports? Do they have passport? Gaza is open prison even West Bank
You didn't even bother talking about the topic of the title. The point was to discuss the OTHER NATIONS, you failed to do this. Why do we have to live with bots like this?
@@NisNaas The Gazans could have had lots of nice things if Hamas didn't misuse all the international aid they received on weapons and tunnels
Thank you. Watching from Alaska.

Lol. I’m sure. And get the results as well?
Not all people in the region are Shia, some are actually decent Sunni people. The West likes the Sunni, the others, well them not so much.
No we do not , even if we have differences with israel civilians are a red line ! Iranian society is also peaceful society it is only the regime !
The last nations in middle east to even dare lift a finger would be Saudi and UAE, unless they have forgotten how the Houthis lit up the oil fields in Saudi like a Christmas tree about a decade ago. Besides, the UAE is currently busy trying to stay afloat. lol
@@chillout914 that isn't what their neighbours say about them. See you should have watched the video.
What do you mean when you say Isreal didn't claim responsibility for attacking Iranian embassy?
yeah, total nonsense of course. DW must think if they tell us the sky is pink we will believe it without thinking.
Israel didn't make official statement accepting responsibility.
He is on drugs
It's a bit silly really and I say that as no fan of Iran.
Shame on all of them
Why?
The Iranian people will be free one day, you are no friend to them and they will remember
Benefits over humanity.
The title is "What do the Arab nations think about Israel". The video, however, is exclusively about the two pro-Western Arab nations. The German public media has unfortunately become very biased and one-sided.
Thats also reality in the middle east. Its geopolitics. Saudi arabia, UAE, Egypt and Jordan are all aligned with Israel because Iran is a strategic threat to them and their mutual economic ties.
@@codybell6882,No equation has changed.These countries will support only with the fear of USA and Western powers.
Indeed they are from the very beginning and they wouldn't mention what just Jordanian king said about Israel few hours later shooting down those missiles
@@codybell6882 No doubt about that. But presenting only one side of the story is just bad journalism - especially on such a controversial story. There are many more Arab nations than the four you mention. If they simply changed the title to "The Perspective of the Western Alliance", I wouldn't complain either. However, the subtle implication here is that the large number of Arab nations would come to precisely the same assessment like those four countries...
Jordan recieve billions to be friendly with Israel.They need the money. It is hard to believe an information that came from Israel but not Saudi. It is not the first time they say things about the Saudi Arabia without asking Saudi Arabia.Last time the Saudis have to scream to be heard that it was not true.
Thanks for posting
This "expert" claiming that Israel started thos ignores the fact that Iran backed proxies attacked Israel in October 7th abd now all wabt cease fire there was one on October 6th till it was violated on October 7th.yey this Host does not bring it up once.
You mean..."armchair experts"? Lolz
the jordan and saudi king and princes were all brought up as english aristocrats in the uk oh yes, both kingdoms are under foreign occupation and automatic command and jordan is receivng foreign aids to stay open for business
Hezballah, hammus, houthis, PLO and the likes are funded and their weapons are supplied by Iran. You see the difference? Given that jordan and saudi are allied of the US, these leaders does not want any escalation of conflict, they want peace.
The Arab world doesn’t much care for the Iranian-Persians. The Israelis have never subjugated them like the Persian Empire.
The relationship between the Persian empires and the Arab tribes varied over time, particularly between different Persian dynasties and the various Arab groups. During the Achaemenid period (550-330 BCE), the Persian Empire controlled many territories that included Arab populations, especially along the fringes of the Arabian Peninsula. However, these areas were mostly on the periphery of the empire, and the direct Persian control over the deeply tribal and fragmented Arabian Peninsula itself was limited. In the later Parthian (247 BCE-224 CE) and Sassanian (224-651 CE) periods, the Persians had more direct interactions with the Arabs. The Sassanian Empire, in particular, had significant dealings with Arab tribes, as they were important in the border regions between the Sassanian domains and the Roman-Byzantine territories. The Lakhmids, an Arab tribe in what is now Iraq, served as vassals to the Sassanians and were an essential buffer against the Roman-Byzantine and other Arab tribes. Thus, while the Persians did exert influence and sometimes control over Arab territories and tribes through vassalage and alliances, they did not subjugate the Arabs in the sense of full and direct administration across the Arabian Peninsula. The interactions were more about influence and buffer relationships rather than direct governance.
2:00, I remember hearing theories around 7 October that the Hamas attack might have been intended to short-circuit the Saudi accord with the U.S. re Israel. Not much is said about that these days … sadly the brutality of Israel’s response to the events of 7 October has overshadowed everything.
What would you like their response to be considering that Hamas terrorists said they would do it over and over again?
@@NewYorker8312they can define an internationally recognized law and ask everybody to stick to it and then they can punish criminals based on that agreement. 1948 agreements and all agreements after that recognized a sovereign Palestinian country. Even at the moment Americans talk about the two state solution but where is this two state solution? To the point I know, for the last 16 years Gaza was under siege. The west bank is officially the occupied west bank. Without a comprehensive solution it's absolutely unfair to support what Israel does in Gaza and the West bank
@@sajjadezzati732the UN 1948 agreement if 2 state solution was turn down by palestinian, as always did the following talks about it...then they attack Israel....
@@vangielee1403 yes my friend that's correct except the solution turned down by Arab nations who after a while eventually accepted the reality but Palestine remained on the paper. Tonight is the security council(?) and I have no hope the US will let Palestine be approved
GOOD INTERVIEWER. QUALITY PRESENTATION. GOOD GUEST AT THE END.

Thanks you so much ♥️
How can these countries dare to even think about to fight with Israel!!?? Shame on Jordan and the Saudis!
It’s got nothing to do with the west, we’ve got our own ways and lives,
balance of e all situation please
No Arab world have any rift with Iran , all of you basterd want Arab world as a weak nations.
The world has gone mad.
Yes. It has.
never been otherwise tbh
I would say Iran started the conflict by aiding and abetting Hamas's October 7th Massacres Rapes and Kidnappings!!!!!
Arab : what we can do Napoleon : There Nothing we can do
The Iranians let all the countries know what they are going to do! And no one besides Jordan closed its airspace. That says a lot!

I didn't know that Queen Rania was of Palestinian descent.
When will the axis of resistance be renamed into the axis of evil or the axis of terrorist? Doesn’t the word resistance, suggest a legitimate opposition? Thank you DW for your unwavering support of the rules based world order.
I mean Iran saw that Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE was about to create a piece, Iran didn't want that, so that's why Iran asked Hamas to attack Israel.

Ya'ani = in another word, for example, meaning, in another word, like, you know! depend on context
"yaeny" means " ie, I mean, in another words, it means" take your pick.
LMAO yani hahaha
Saudi Arabia and Iran would never fight against each other as predicted by Western countries. They may have clashes like Pakistan vs Afghanistan but in reality we never want to fight against each other.
Well, let's get the facts straight. While "Israel have not claim responsibility of striking the Iranian Embassy," they have NOT denied it either. I'm sure that the Iranians have Intel, the it was Israel.
Women and whoever has sisters, mother, wife , daughters ... defending the Iran regime, it must be a joke!
Saudi must be loving this
I guess other Arab nation can't just say they like better on Israel than on Iran
Hamas attacks Israel on October 7 and Israel responds. Terror supporters: "History didn't begin on October 7!" Israel responds to Iranian regime attacks on Israel and the Iranian regime shoots hundreds of drones and missiles against Israel. Terror supporters: "History began on April 1!" What absolute hypocrites. No principles, no insistence on universal standards, just "we like them so they're good and do nothing wrong!"
Play all sides, like the british back when they were super royal!👌

Gaza Is IRAN . "Palestinians" are the puppets to Iran. That is the simple truth.
POINT OF CORRECTION SAUDI ARABIA DID NOT GET INVOLVED IN SHOOTING DOWN IRAN MISSILES.
Two birds with one rock.
War between moral immoral people
I think, Indian media explained this much better. It’s because Iran intentionally wanted this strike to fail.
What total cope. Iran used about 110 ballistic missiles out of its total stockpile of around 3000 - a massive investment - and achieved nothing. Trying to pretend this was supposed to happen, after launching the largest simmultaneous ballistic missile attack in history, is just pathetic.
Something doesn't look right about the thumbnail to this video.
The same in jordan!,,
I dont know yaani yaani we move forward yaani
No Mr.guest no Israeli did not started this conflict by attacking Iranian consulate. Who was it who past almost year did shot hundreds of missiles at Israel from their proxy groups? Iran did. Iran was all this time behind all those proxy groups in the region and they were forced to react after they were assaulted at consulate to save face. Not like it helped when almost all their missiles were shot down. That said I do not like that they did destroy that consulate ... it's a war and in war people do bad things.
For your information, Jordan more than fifty percent Palestinian . In preamble reporter

The best case scenario is for isrial to not respond at all, despite israil bombing an Iranian embassy first, with intent and without prior notice and with advance weapon at a non military target with Iranian civilians. Iran had to respond to israil illigal attack on an embarrassing but doing so in a way that does not escalate the situation by A) giving prior notice to Arab countries and Turkey which is a nato member which indirectly gave America the head up B) doing so with old missiles that are easy detectable and with slow moving drowns. The best scenario is for israil to not respond given the fact that Iran gave israil an opportunity to not lose face by enabling an easy scenario for them to shoot down all the targets. Put your self in Iran shoe you can not not respond but responding to hardly would escalate a regional war. Local Arab countries saw what Iran did and new what israil did and its wishful thinking to think that some kind of new alliance would be assembly to invade Iran despite how much EU and American news media try to imply.
Arab countrys will think what Israel will tell them 😅
Sorry, Israel would never wanted to be wrong as many overt on History. Torah is really vest for having a good life and love all People. Funny, Religion or Countries must accept equality for all as flowers or any thing showing on our see.

I would be impressed if Germany allowed the return of its former citizens that arrived in 1945 to 1948 to Palestine. I would be in favor of compensation paid to them and their property returned to them too. They have the Right of Return.

Arabs (especially Palestinians) and Israelis are genetically related. But some Arabs are being played by Iran to annihilate Israel.
Netanyahu strategy is fail , there no casualties in Israel that he was expected and make is him power remains

Good job of Arab Nations which is prevented the world 🌎 war
The Arabs and Egyptians fear the Iranian miltant groups, but most are sympathetic to the Palestinian People. However, sympathy in international politics only go so far when the government they follow are viewed as an existential threat.
I think they are all saving the Israel civilians from Iran attack. And that's also show their missiles can also reach Israel. I don't know what else some one can do to make one understand killings innocent is wrong whatever the reason is.

Did the president fist bump?
"Jordan is between two major troublemakers."
Israel is acting like a bully in the school recess. At some point, someone in the US needs to say "enough is enough" so that the Israeli Palestinian situation can normalize and the rest of the region avoid a major conflict.
Nope. Israel is the David that regularly defeats the goliath of radical Islam.
LMFAO! Both sides bullying the other side, and it will stay like that for at least a few more centuries. The reason? Because both sides are comfortable with the current situation.
