Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Arab leaders face Gaza test: "The Gaza crisis has exposed in stark terms the growing disconnect between anger on the Arab street against Israeli attacks on Gaza and the slow response - some say total failure to act - by Arab governments.
While Israel insists its current assault on Gaza is a justifiable act of self-defence, underlining it is not targeting civilians but rather Palestinian fighters who have fired rockets into Israeli territory, anger on the Arab street threatens to spill over into violence.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, further embarrassed regional governments by urging the Arab League to take action 'quickly' to end the attacks on Gaza, although he did not elaborate on what they should, or could, actually do"
