*Maybe because these comments are rather dated. The
Arab criticisms of Hezbollah have been muted in the
meanwhile, and the criticisms of Israel well stepped
up.
Check out the current Arab News (the official Saudi
newspaper):

And Egypt's Al-Ahram (the quotes below are from
there):

The arrival of Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul-Gheit in
Lebanon for talks with senior Lebanese political
figures yesterday morning marked a growing shift in
the Egyptian position on the Israeli war on Lebanon.
On the 21st day of the brutal Israeli aggression that
has massacred innocent civilians, the top Egyptian
diplomat, who has on the one hand criticised
Hizbullah's miscalculations while rebuking Israel for
its offensive on the other, announced unprecedented
official sympathy with the Lebanese people who have
until now expressed dismay with the stand taken by
Cairo over their plight.
Cairo, Abul-Gheit told reporters in Beirut, was
working hard to secure "an end to hostilities.
"Egypt has always been on the side of Lebanon and the
Lebanese people," Abul-Gheit affirmed in a tone
appealing to angry Lebanese journalists who volleyed
questions about Cairo's weak support for Lebanon.
Coupled with a furious round of telephone
consultations held by President Mubarak with Lebanese
Prime Minister Fouad Al-Siniora, Abul- Gheit's visit
came three days after the Israeli massacre in Qana
which prompted Mubarak to use strong language in
condemning Israel, something he has steered clear of
since the beginning of the Israeli assault on 12 July.
