Atwan described the attacks on Israelis in Eilat as correcting " This attack put the spotlight back on the most important struggle – that for the honor of the Arab and Islamic nation ... Resistance is a legitimate right as long as land is occupied and the people and holy places are humiliated ... the course of the Arab revolutions and refocused them on the most dangerous disease , namely Israeli tyranny . This disease is the cause of all the defects that have afflicted the region for the past 65 years "
