Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, one of the most widely recognized and respected Saudi officials in the world, gave a three-part interview to the government-controlled Al Arabiya news network and proceeded to tear down 70 years of myths about the leadership of the Palestinian national movement. Bandar spent 22 years as a Saudi ambassador to the U.S. and is known to speak for the government.
It was an extraordinary series of interviews — a brutal assessment of the numerous self-inflicted wounds by Palestinian leaders going all the way back to the 1930s. It was broadcast in Arabic with English subtitles on a news network that reaches every country in the region. And while Bandar is no longer in the government, a palace spokesman said he was speaking for Crown Prince Mohammed ben Salman.
Bandar began by talking about the Mufti of Jerusalem, the very first Palestinian national leader, who made a deal with the Nazis back in the 1930s and got nothing to show for it.
From Bloomberg:
Bandar goes on to mention a list of similar bad choices and decisions: The Arab rejection of the 1948 United Nations partition plan that would have given the Palestinians a state. The Arab League’s rejection of UN Resolution 242 after the 1967 War that called for an Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories; and the Palestinian Liberation Organization rejection of the Clinton Plan in 2000 that would have given the Palestinians a state in most of the West Bank and Gaza.
The most interesting rejection came in 1979, at Camp David. Israel offered Palestinians autonomy in the occupied territories. Yasir Arafat, turned it down flat. Sixteen years later, Arafat signed the Oslo Accord with Israel.

What are you saying FU to me for? I am talking about what the collective globalist and DNC and media (redundant) is going to be

And she was raised in America.
I’m pretty sure Israel would defend Saudi Arabia from Iran,
if asked to do so.
RE: I’m pretty sure Israel would defend Saudi Arabia from Iran, if asked to do so.
Yes because it is also a matter of self-preservation. If Saudi Arabia falls, you can be 100% sure that Israel will be next ( I’m not sure that this will be the order of things though ).
Iranian weapons will be able to take out House of Saud’s oil wells...plus there’s ‘the disgruntled’ within the family... The Palestinians are a hopeless cause - their hated of Israel stops them from making rational agreements... the Sauds are getting tired of dealing with all the drama. And the world is moving on. The King knows that... It’s time...
Another strong sign that more peace deals are coming - possibly the Mother Of All Peace Deals - Israeli/Saudi.
I thought there would have been some more by now, but Democrats seem to be jumping on them like grenades, to jam them up.
Sen Menedez (D- NJ) for example, blocked/delayed the de-listing of Sudan as a terrorist supporting state, which seems to have disrupted that one.
Maybe instead of several drops, we will just have one more, in the last run up week to the election.
Agreed...
