US-Israel-Saudi Arabia Relations
August 15, 2024•282 words
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇸🇦 There is one thing our three countries have in common. We all have an adversarial relationship with Iran. So it is not in any of our interests to create a new terrorist state in the Middle East that is aligned with Iran and Iran's other proxies like the Houthis in Yemen, which Saudi Arabia was at war with not so long ago. Therefore, I think MBS is a fool for insisting on a path to statehood for Palestine. I think the Palestinians will be much better off if they settle in a new territory. There are several well-off nations in the region where Palestinians can establish a very comfortable lifestyle and be fully integrated into Muslim communities and Muslim culture: Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, and even Turkey. If MBS really wants to help the Palestinian people, he should offer them a Saudi Arabian citizenship, jobs, and compensation to resettle there. That is more than Iran and the Iranian-funded terrorist groups like Hamas have ever offered them. If MBS really cares for the Palestinians, he could also consider donating Saudi Arabian territory, much of which is unutilized, to a Palestinian settlement where the Palestinians can live happily ever after protected by Saudi Arabia. I think it's the best way for MBS to turn the Palestinian people into friends, otherwise they will likely remain foes and friends of Iran. If the international community really wants to solve this problem, then they will have to open their minds to new ideas, instead of fixating on old ideas and old proposals that have only caused the pain and suffering and conflict to continue for over half a century. xo
