While Arafat tried to present himself as a moderate, the actions of the PLO under his command said otherwise. In 1990 the Palestinian Liberation Front, a faction of the PLO, tried to launch a terrorist attack on Israel's beaches.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1990/05/31/world/israel-reports-foiling-speedboat-attack-on-beach.html Israel Reports Foiling Speedboat Attack on Beach – New York Times]</ref> Arafat and the PLO leadership refused to condemn the attack or take action against the Palestinian Liberation Front.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/03/world/plo-rejects-us-demand-on-israel-raid.html?src=pm P.L.O.

==With Saddam Hussein==
After [[Saddam Hussein]] in 1990 occupied [[Kuwait]], it was Arafst, who stood out to support him. Gulf Arabs remember that decades later.<ref>"Gambling on the losers": a storm after the Saudi prince attacked the Palestinians.
Roy Kaise. Kan News, Oct.6.2020.[https://www.kan.org.il/Item/?itemId=78144 in Heb.]
Following the agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, Saudi Arabia was designated as a state that if Israel succeeds in normalizing its relations with it, it will be a breach of equality with the Arab world. Tonight, Israel may have received a positive message in this direction, in an interview with one of the Saudi princes on the Al-Arabiya network: he attacked the Palestinians for their opposition to agreements between Israel and the Gulf states, implicitly mentioned Abba Eben.
[From the clip of Bandar bin Sultan's 40 min. speech: 'We give them aid, advice, and service...They talk about "back stabbing" and "treason" because this is how they relate amongst themselves...We all remember Yassar Arafat hugging Saddam Hussein (1990) after he's occupied Kuwait. Palestinians didn't pay for what they did to the Gulf Arabs...'</ref>
