Former Secretary Of State Pompeo Claims “Many” In The Saudi Kingdom Desire A Relationship With IsraelBy Behold Israel, Mar 2, 2021

The former Secretary of State, while speaking to the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement this week, voiced his hope for the Saudi Kingdom to join the Abraham Accords; Pompeo: I hope that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can find its way to join the Abraham Accords. I know that many inside that country want that to take place.

While addressing listeners tuning in to the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement via a recorded video, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo revealed that “many” within Saudi Arabia wish to see the Kingdom normalize its diplomatic ties with the Jewish State. In addition, Pompeo himself voiced his support for the Kingdom to join the Abraham Accords, following suit with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan.

Pompeo said, “I hope that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can find its way to join the Abraham Accords. I know that many inside that country want that to take place.” There was speculation near the end of 2020 that the Kingdom was on the verge of joining the Accords after Pompeo and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a very brief trip to Neom, Saudi Arabia, to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Continuing his speech, Pompeo revisited the Trump administration’s approach to Iranian aggression, acknowledging that the Abraham Accords could only become a reality through the tough US stance regarding the Islamic Republic, explaining that it revealed how serious the US was concerning a better relationship between Israel, the US, and the Arab world.

He specifically targeted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its former leader, General Qassem Soleimani, stating, “When leaders in the Arab world saw that the United States was prepared to do this, to push back against Iran, to push back against the IRGC leadership in the person of Qassem Soleimani, they knew they had a friend…They knew that they could… build out a set of accords with the State of Israel: these are not disconnected issues, they are deeply connected, one could not happen without the other.”

Despite Israel and Saudi Arabia not yet having normalized diplomatic ties, it has been reported that the two countries have worked together behind the scenes for some time.

“Strong speech by President Trump about the winning policies of his administration and what the party needs to unite behind moving forward. The liberal media wants a GOP civil war. Not gonna happen,” tweeted Haley.

Israel Reportedly In Talks With Gulf States To Form Four-Nation Defense Alliance

The Jewish State is reportedly working with the Gulf States to form a military defense agreement amid growing Iranian aggression; This potential military pact is taking place at a time when the US is moving towards returning to the Iran nuclear deal.

As the United States continues to take steps to renegotiate with the Islamic Republic of Iran concerning the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or Iran nuclear deal, Israel is reportedly now in talks with multiple countries in the Gulf region. The report surfaced with Israel’s i24 News, stating that Israel was pursuing a “defense security alliance” with Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The officials who communicated with i24 did not confirm nor deny the report, but they did reaffirm that Israel is consistently pursuing more effective ways to better its relationship with nations in the region.

While the Jewish State normalized its diplomatic ties with Bahrain and the UAE in 2020, there is currently no official ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia. However, wherever the relationship currently stands, the Saudi Kingdom shares at least one major thing in common with Israel right now, and that’s the ever-growing aggression of the Iranian regime.

Tehran has been advancing its nuclear program in an aggressive manner over the last several months, violating multiple terms of the JCPOA. Furthermore, the Republic has threatened the Gulf region numerous times following its normalization of ties with Israel.

South Carolina is on the verge of passing a bill banning abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, making it the latest state to move forward with pro-life legislation.

The state legislature’s House Judiciary Committee approved the “heartbeat” bill by a nearly 2-1 margin Tuesday, teeing up the legislation for a vote on the House floor. The statesenate passed the bill by a 30-13 margin with one Republican voting against the bill and one Democrat voting for it. The legislation would effectively ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, around the point at which a fetal heartbeat is detected, with an exception for cases of rape, incest, and the health of the mother. Pro-abortion advocates criticized the legislation for its extreme nature and alleged it would force women to give birth
