The Tehran times today (30 December) accused the Organization of the Islamic Conference of "forgetting" the Palestinians. The Iranian newspaper noted that OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu issued "a statement congratulating Muslims on the occasion of New Year 1430 AH but inexplicably ignoring the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in the Gaza Strip."
It will be interesting to see if the fissure that exists between Iran with its Gazan proxy and the Arab states widens or narrows over the next week. If the Arabs do not bring pressure on the U.S., so that it brings pressure on Israel to halt the strikes, the Iranians would have the option of upping the ante by instructing Hizbullah to begin its own missile barrage in "solidarity."
