Summary

This quote suggests that the belief that the Arab-Israeli conflict was negatively impacting the rest of the world was not entirely accurate.

This implies that the conflict primarily affected the Arab countries and Israel directly, rather than holding the entire world hostage as previously thought. The quote challenges the notion that the Arab-Israeli conflict had a significant global impact beyond the parties involved.
