Tehran Times: Conference to fail "if there is no logical response to the legitimate demands of jihadi groups"

That's what it says. Via Mehr News:
[...] Massive demonstrations in the occupied territories protesting the participation of the Palestinian delegation have shown that the Palestinian Authority has no legitimacy, with many people believing that the motive behind the U.S.-hosted conference is to support the Zionist regime.

The other goal of the autumn conference is to bring Arab states closer to Israel, especially after the stillbirth of Washington’s new Middle East initiative.

In addition, since Israel is not prepared to enter into dialogue with the Palestinian delegation on key issues, like the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, the return of refugees, and the final status of Beit-ul-Moqaddas (Jerusalem), the Palestinian side will be the main loser.

Certain Arab states that agreed to participate in the conference are making a hesitant approach to the U.S.-envisioned alliance so that they can have a share in the future division of power in the region.

In light of such regional variables, the question of whether the Arab states are trying to distance themselves from regional crises and the Palestinian issue arises.

If those Arab states which participated in the Annapolis Conference are really trying to resolve the Palestinian issue, why don’t they ask the United States and Israel for a work plan?

Of course, if there is no logical response to the legitimate demands of jihadi groups and no just resolution of the Palestinian conflict, the Arab peoples will never allow their rulers to establish political relations with the Zionist regime, and this conference will create political problems for them at home. [...]
You can't ask for a clearer statement than that.
