Saudi Arabia Reiterates Support for a Palestinian State

[bongsaway]

"Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its support for an independent Palestinian state on Tuesday and said establishing diplomatic ties with Israel would depend on the creation of such a state, hours after President Trump proposed permanently moving all Palestinians out of Gaza and making it a U.S. territory.

The Foreign Ministry’s statement early Wednesday local time, which said that Saudi support for a Palestinian state was “firm and unwavering,” contradicted Mr. Trump. While hosting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel at the White House on Tuesday, the president had said that Saudi Arabia was not insisting on a Palestinian state."

I know the Trump family loves that Saudi money, but there seems to be a difference of opinion here.

Well let's see, who has more money, trump or the Saudis? Trump's job is temporary, Saudi money isn't and they still have that other thing we so desperately want, part of their money in the form of oil. In trump's world everything is transactional and no other factors play into the negotiations. Trump gives a shit about trump, period.

Saudis say no.....Egypt says no, Lebanon says no, Jordan says no......it's no.

Trump got exactly what he wanted all along. You may have missed that.

He'll get what he wants in Gaza too. Hint - he doesn't want the US to own it.

Trump got handled like the ego driven dummy he is. We showed up, told him that what we offered in December was as good as it was gonna get, with the addition of a couple zero cost line items to dangle in front of his supporter's eyes as if they (the line items and the supporters) mattered, and he backed the **** up.

Maybe he'll have better luck against a people already marginalized and war weary. Probably best to focus on Gaza now, Canada was a failed campaign.

I read an article once that discussed numerous possibilities for a Jewish Homeland. If I remember correctly, Macedonia was mentioned.

The fact is, Jews are safer dispersed among the world than they are living in Israel. But unfortunately, the rest of the world hates them.

Create a state in the 4 corners area of the US...but don't allow them to vote in American elections.

Kind of like Trump's dream of becoming president again.

trump is not the president, he is Musk's VP.

In Biden's case it was strategic ambiguity in Trumps case its strategic lying.

Strategic lying is lying.

Palestinians have been offererd a state of their own multiple times, and because those offers meant accepting Israel as a neighbor, they refused every time.

Wyoming, Montana, and Alaska have alot of open space.

There's a reason they have a lot of empty space.

That wasn't the reason and the chief negotiator at Camp David, Shlomo Ben Ami, is on record as saying if he were negotiating on the Palestinian side, he too would have rejected the offer.

Once again your ignorance and bias show how ridiculous your posts here are

If I understand correctly, the region is filled with corrupt leader who don't give a crap about the Palestinians and were selling them out with the 'Abraham Accords'. October 7 was launched to interrupt that and reset the situation, which it did, the war crimes causing people in the region to demand their leaders support Palestinians. In other words, expect the Saudi position to be 'show' for angry citizens, but that they'll be happy to sell Palestinians out if they can.

Most of the world loves Jews. Zionists, colonialists, war criminals, not so much, but they're loved too at least in parts of the US. As for Jews, they thrive in the US and across the world most places. They could thrive in the Middle East - Palestinians took them in, they were 40% of Baghdad for example, until the Zionists arrived and began killing. They picked a place where they'd be victimizing millions of people, committing atrocities, and still demand more land.

Jacky Rosen is a Zionist. Are you saying she's not a Jew. What on earth are you saying?

Palestinians took in Jews to Iraq? WTF are you talking about?

They picked a place where they'd be victimizing millions of people, committing atrocities, and still demand more land.

They picked their ancestral homeland.

Yes and while we at it, we can ignore 50 years history and do it all over again.

Rebuilding Gaza would be a waste of money. They will only pick another fight with Israel and get flattened again. If they want to stay where they are, Fine, but let them rebuild with their own hands. Maybe they won't be so quick to let it get blown up again. Not One Dime of American money into this foolish project.
