The nuances of the Middle East break up their illusions about there being some kind of solidarity. The other Arabs hate or at least don't care about Palestinians, they especially hate Hamas. They used to just dislike Israel more, now they don't because Israel is an important partner they need. Palestine and Iran are not.
They care about establishing a Palestinian state because that "solves" the issue and hopefully it can piggyback on Israel enough to become a valuable country. But Palestinian elites aren't interested in this and Hamas definitely isn't.
This is why they keep asking why Israel's friends don't all team up and try to re-enact the 1948 war out of Arab/Muslim solidarity but don't wonder how this is supposed to make sense.
