The newspaper editor in chief says in his article that the whole world has opposed the erection of the wall by the Zionist entity in occupied Palestine. Amidst that conflict with the enemy the world is surprised by what the brothers in the Saudi Arabia are carrying out of building a dividing fence under security pretexts. The painful thing is the timing of erecting it as it looks as if it is a kind of support for the Zionist enemy that is erecting the dividing wall under allegation of preventing the -terrorist'' operations.
The security coordination between our country and Saudi Arabia has reached a high level of effective coordination and this is the best way for both countries to fight the so-called terror. As for the barrier it is too weak an action the bothers in Saudi Arabia are behind purposes farther than security reasons. They want to renounce of some articles stipulated in the Jedda agreement that led to demarcation of borders between the two countries, some of which articles stipulated the movement between the citizens in the border area and other article connected to economy. This step adopted by the Saudi brothers arouses many question marks especially about the reason why they want to outflank the signed agreement. Maintaining any agreement or treaty could be accomplished through more political and economic partnership and coordination of stands and activation of joint committees and dialogue regarding some points of difference. This is the safest way of keeping any agreement and it is the best way for facing the so-called terror.
