The Goldstone Report points its fingers of accusation at Israel. By Habib Haddad in the pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat

"Some confirm that we could be shortly facing a dangerous epidemic while others insist the virus is weak and can be easily treated. Which side are we to believe?"

Amani Sadeq , Akhbar Al-Yom

"The aim of the tour and every other presidential visit is to lighten the burden of the Egyptian citizen and increase his income."

Eman Anwar ,

Al-Akhbar

"The Goldstone Report will affect Israel's image in the world and will pressure its leaders to begin to take real steps towards peace."

Al-Ahram

"The Egyptian government needs to take a rest and focus on how to act as a power in resolving the Palestinian issue rather than pushing the Palestinian factions to sign a document that will not bridge the wide gap between Fatah and Hamas."

Al-Quds Al-Arabi

"The absence of earnestness on the part of the Security Council in executing its resolutions and keeping Israel above the law and international questioning is the secret that has made the racist occupation regime in Israel last."

Mamdouh Taha , Al-Bayan

"Somebody may suggest that Arab states use sign language in their dialogue because they do not hear each other. But given that they do not want to understand each other, if sign language is used, they will not see each other as if they are blind."

Mohamed Salah , Al-Hayat
