The paper aimed to identify the Problems of the absence of Arab countries adopting positions supportive to the Palestinian cause and resistance in the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, and to identify the most prominent effects that will cast a shadow on the Arab countries as a result of the absence of adopting effective positions. The paper came out with a set of conclusions, perhaps the most prominent of which is that the Al-Aqsa Flood revealed the lack of the effectiveness of the Arab state and its positions are still hostage to international policies, especially American ones. Likewise, the Arab countries have lost their regional ability in favor of players that Arab countries consider them to be either competitors or enemies. The Arab countries have not been able to exploit the normalization agreements between them and Israel to influence American or Israeli policies, whether by threatening to sever Relationships, or even by exploiting relations to give Arab countries even a marginal space for maneuver.

Keywords: The Arab world, the Arab-Israeli conflict, Palestine, the Palestinian issue, Israel, the Arab role.
