Amr moussa considered in an interview with Washington Post newspaper that Hamas is not a “terrorist”, Iran is not an enemy to Arabs, and Hosni Moubarak separated Egypt from the Palestinian cause.

Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa told the Washington Post that only a few countries consider Hamas a terrorist organization, while the majority doesn’t believe so.

Moussa indicated that "the view that Hamas is a terrorist organization is a view that pertains to a minority of countries, not a majority”.

He considered that “Israel should be pressured into lifting the Gaza blockade” and accused ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak of “unjustly” separating Egypt's relations with the Arab world from the Palestinian issue, saying that "Egypt conducted its relations in the region in a way that the people did not accept. The Egyptian-Arab relation is one thing; the Palestinian question is another."
 

He further pointed out that, “we should have insisted and used Egyptian-Israeli relations to put an end to the siege that caused a lot of suffering to the people of Gaza".

In parallel, Moussa commented on the improving ties between Egypt and the Islamic Republic of Iran saying that "Iran is not the actual enemy of Arabs, and it shouldn’t be. We have a lot to gain by peaceful relations with Iran”.
