UPDATE 1-Leaks stoke Arab anger, show what peace deal needs

* Similar concessions discussed before -analysts

* Fate of Jerusalem, refugees seen as broader Arab issue

CAIRO, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Leaked documents that show Palestinians made major concessions to Israel on occupied East Jerusalem have infuriated many Arabs who fear their rights to the holy city are being sold too cheaply.

Some Arab analysts said the documents, published by Al Jazeera television, did not differ markedly from offers discussed in previous peace talks over the years and showed the kind of concessions needed for any settlement.

But ordinary Arabs, many of them angered by their leaders who they feel are too ready to capitulate to U.S. and Israeli demands, still voiced fury about the content of leaks that touch on issues sensitive to many across the Middle East.

"Of course Mahmoud Abbas could have done this because he wants to deepen roots between him and Israel," said Ismail Hussein, an Egyptian bank employee, saying such concessions would turn Palestinians against their president.

Another Egyptian, Salah Hasheesh, said: "If he did this, they are selling themselves cheaply." But he also said the reports may have been concocted to undermine President Abbas.
