GCC

Yesterday, I read in the gulfnews that in the GCC summit they decided that 'Iran is not worrisome' and I was surprised and confused because few weeks ago the UAE minister of foreign affairs Rashid Abdullah had an interview on TV and he was so clear in stating that Iran IS worrisome. It turned out that Amr Moussa - The Secretary General of the League of Arab States is the one who said it is not worrisome and so this is what was written in gulfnews about it, I'm going to post it here because I want to highlight few parts.

Abdullah dismisses Mousa's concerns

Dubai: UAE Foreign Minister Rashid Abdullah has brushed off a letter sent to the 26th GCC Summit by Amr Mousa, Secretary General of the Arab League. He said Mousa should worry more about the security of the Gulf region.

The letter, part of which was published by a Kuwaiti newspaper, criticised the GCC position on Iran's nuclear programme. Mousa reportedly urged the GCC to "support" the Iranian position and "focus more" on Israel's nuclear arsenal.

"We appreciate the worries expressed by Amr Mousa, as an Egyptian citizen, over the Israeli nuclear programme and we share them. But in the Gulf, we have fears and worries from the Iranian programme. Mousa should also talk about that," Abdullah said. "If Mousa doesn't agree with us, that is his business."

The letter also accused the GCC of exerting undue pressure on Syria and blaming it of killing former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri. The Kuwaiti newspaper described the letter as "outrageous."

In that interview few weeks ago on TV, the reporter said that the minister was so direct and answer questioned directly not like people in politics in the Arab world, he stated that the minister said more than they usually do.
