"Jon Stewart: Arab States Fear Backing 'Islamists' in Granting Palestinians Citizenship"

Jon Stewart criticized Arab states for not granting Palestinians citizenship, suggesting they are afraid of the Islamists they have supported. He argued that the Arab nations' reluctance is due to their fear of groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, which they helped foster. Stewart's comments came during an interview with journalist Christiane Amanpour about the Israel-Hamas conflict. He previously proposed a Middle Eastern version of NATO to resolve the Gaza conflict, but experts and Amanpour expressed skepticism about its feasibility.
