Bin Salman on normalization with Israel
- :We want to be a part of Abraham accords, but we also want to make sure that we ensure a path to a tow-state solution”.
- Bin Salman: “Yes, absolutely Mr. President. We want peace for Israelis, we want peace for Palestinians.”
- Trump asked about the F-35 deal, if it was conditional on normalization with Israel as Israel wanted. Trump: “Israel will be satisfied, they are aware of that.
Satisfied is different that Israel getting what they want. Politician speak. No doubt Israel will have to take a big spoon full of sugar to get this deal and many others being worked on done.
I have been against the sale of F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia, however Amir Tsarfati “let me be clear no F-35 anywhere in the world is comparable to the Israeli ones, simple because Israel has installed Israeli-made systems that are unique to its occupational needs. The similarities are only external.” I must say that makes me feel better. I have also heard others say that the close connection between Israel and the US is that Israel will tell us how to make ours better once they put upgraded systems in the jets. Amazing! The money we send to Israel comes back in dividends to America, unlike any other money sent abroad.
Footnote: anyone expecting true peace is fooling themselves. New survey by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.
- More that 50% Gazans support Hamas conduct in the war
- Same % oppose any attempt to dismantle or disarm the orginization
- 44% Gazans & 59% of West Bank Arabs claim that Hamas’s decision to attack on October 7th was the right thing to do.
- Even after thousands of deaths in Gaza – Hamas is not only still alive, but thriving.
If one believes the poll, which does not surprise me at all. Peace is elusive and since Phase 1 has not been accomplished, how can we move on and expect Phase 2 (disarmament to be accomplished.) Rh
