Disney retreats from commitment to establish Palestinian wing in Florida exhibition, Sobeah
Regional-Palestine, Politics, 10/18/1999

Ambassador Mohamed Sobeah, the Palestinian delegate to the Arab League, accused the US Walt Disney Company of retreating from its commitment to establish a Palestinian wing in its exhibition in the US state of Florida on the occasion of celebrations of the third millenium.

In his statements yesterday, Sobeah said he has presented his proposal to Disney to establish a Palestinian wing in the exhibition.

He denied the credibility of what was announced by a Disney spokesman earlier that the company didn't receive any proposal for establishing a Palestinian wing in its exhibition.

This Sobeah warned that a retreat of the company from its commitments will affect badly its relations with Arab states.
