D. Most Middle Eastern nations have too many internal problems to concern themselves with the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Answer 1

Arafat would agree with statement C: It is the Palestinians themselves, not the Israelis, who must find the path to peace in the Middle East.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on Yasser Arafat's quote, 'Palestine is the cement that holds the Arab world together, or it is the explosive that blows it apart,' Arafat would also agree with statement C: It is the Palestinians themselves, not the Israelis, who must find the path to peace in the Middle East. Arafat believed that the Palestinians had a crucial role to play in achieving peace in the region. While statement A suggests that all Middle East nations will descend into chaos if Palestinian peace is not achieved, this is not explicitly stated by Arafat. Statement B implies that all Middle East nations look to Palestine for guidance, but Arafat's quote does not address this. Statement D suggests that most Middle Eastern nations have too many internal problems to be concerned with the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, but Arafat's quote does not indicate a position on this.
