I spent some time in the region in 2017 (Gaza / West Bank / Israel), and it was obvious to me that nothing would change for Palestinians until an Islamic country was able to represent their interests through diplomatic relations with Israel.

I think this is great news and I'm very excited to see where it leads.

You assume that any of the Arab countries care about Palestinians sadly outside of the scope of the Israeli Arab conflict where they can be used as pawns they don’t.

Even Jordan which 80% of its population is Palestinians doesn’t seem to care much.

The next logical step is to actually allow Palestinians to gain refugee status and removing UNRWA so the refugee camps might actually get some permanent housing, utilities and countries like Lebanon and Syria would have to grant them the same rights as any other refugee group.

80%? How do you define this statistic? From what I understand from Wikipedia this seems to be around 20%
