Why Saudi Arabia Might Be About to Recognise Israel
[quote]The US are currently mediating negotiations for a deal
that could see Saudi Arabia formally recognise the state of
Israel. So in this video, we'll examine what each country wants,
what the deal could look like and why this is happening in the
first place.[/quote]

This is a deal between the US and Saudi Arabia. All Saudi
demands are of the US - not Israel. All USA demands (eg human
rights, democratization, etc...) have nothing to do with Israel.
The US simply introduced the issue of taking the Saudi-Israel
relationship up a notch to get the Saudis to back down on their
own demands of the US.[/quote]
[quote]Saudi conditions remain unchanged it’s what USA calls for
- a two state solution- a Palestinian State with East Jerusalem
as its eternal capital. This is not going to change! it’s what
the USA wants![/quote]
[quote]not politically knowledgeable but i initially thought the
same thing, KSA wants some things with USA but the USA said make
friends with Israel first[/quote]
[quote]As a perceptive Arab journalist recently put it: "Now
that Israel is getting rid of its democracy, becoming a
theocracy and losing US support, they are now ready to become an
integral part of the middle east..."[/quote][quote]I don't
understand the teaming up against Iran part as Saudi and Iran
already normalized relations quite recently, don't see how
they'd go through all that effort to side with Israel against
Iran after all the time they spent to get back to semi-friendly
relations.[/quote]
[quote]I was very surprised to not see any more information
about where those missile strikes were coming from, given it’s a
response to KSA is committing genocide in Yemen.[/quote]
[quote]It always amazes me to hear the United States views Saudi
Arabia as a valuble alliance. Its kind of mindboggling.[/quote]
[quote]the US would rather be friends with an OPEC nation than
not, along with having an influential heavyweight in the region
that the US sees as developing quite fast. does it excuse what
the KSA has done? no, but it is an explanation for why the US
likes having them around[/quote]

[quote][...]Kushner also played an influential role in the Trump
administration's COVID-19 response. Despite initially advising
Trump that the media was exaggerating the threat of the disease,
he eventually became a leader in the federal effort to procure
medical supplies and develop a vaccine. He was a leading broker
in the US–Mexico–Canada agreement, for which he was awarded
honors by the Mexican government.
Since leaving the White House, Kushner founded Affinity
Partners, a private equity firm investing in Israeli and
American companies expanding in the Middle East, Africa, and
Asia...[9][10][11] [/quote]
[quote]Kushner was born in Livingston, New Jersey, to Seryl
Kushner (née Stadtmauer) and Charles Kushner, a real-estate
developer and convicted felon. His father was friends with Bill
Clinton and Hillary Clinton and attended several dinners with
them. Morris Stadtmauer was Jared's maternal grandfather.[12]
His paternal grandparents, Reichel and Joseph Kushner, were
Holocaust survivors who came to the U.S. in 1949 from
Navahrudak, now in Belarus.[13][14] Reichel, described as the
family's matriarch, led efforts during the Holocaust to escape
from the Navahrudak ghetto by digging a tunnel. Later, she
became a member of the Bielski partisans.[15][16]
Raised in a Modern Orthodox Jewish family,[17] Kushner graduated
from the Frisch School, a Modern Orthodox yeshiva high school,
in 1999 and enrolled at Harvard University in the same year.
According to journalist Daniel Golden, Kushner's father, whose
foundation gives away millions of dollars a year to various
charitable causes, made a donation of $2.5 million to the
university in 1998, along with donations to several other
universities, not long before Jared was admitted.[18][19]
Several sources quoted in the book subsequently disputed the
accuracy of Golden's reporting, characterizing the claims as
“distorted” and “false.” At Harvard, Kushner was elected into
the Fly Club, supported the campus Chabad house,[20][21] and
bought and sold real estate in Somerville, Massachusetts, as a
vice president of Somerville Building Associates (a division of
Kushner Companies), returning a profit of $20 million by its
dissolution in 2005.[22][23][24] Kushner graduated from Harvard
with honors in 2003, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in
government.[25][26]

Saudi Arabia Is Mysteriously Absent in the Israel-Hamas War
[quote]
Mohammed bin Salman has pitched the kingdom as the most
influential country in the Middle East, yet he has dropped the
ball on actual diplomacy.
at around the same time the world was learning that the Qatari
and Egyptian governments had won the release of two Israeli
women who had been held hostage by Hamas, Saudi Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman was featured on Cristiano Ronaldo’s
Instagram. The Portuguese soccer star met the crown prince at a
panel discussion on the future of esports—that is, competitive
video gaming—where the Saudis announced they would host the
first-ever Esports World Cup. Important stuff.
Indeed, since the war between Hamas and Israel began almost
three weeks ago, the “new Saudis” are acting a lot like the “old
Saudis”—there is some motion in Riyadh but no actual action.
When it comes to foreign policy and crisis management, the
Saudis seem “useless,” as a former senior U.S. government
official,
One way of dealing with these problems and contradictions would
be for the Saudi government to be the constructive and
influential actor it claims to be. Instead, the Saudis are
busying themselves with statements and meetings.
if the Saudis are the big dogs of the region—as they claim—then
they cannot sit around in Riyadh and offer nothing more than
strenuous objections to the horrifying situation in Gaza.

Will Hamas-Israel war derail Saudi Arabia's ambitious plans?
[quote]
Even as regional war threatens, Saudi Arabia hosted its annual
high-flying investment conference. While the Israel-Hamas
conflict was a topic of conversation, it didn't seem to stop the
business deals.
Five years ago, speaking in front of an attentive audience in
the glitzy Ritz Carlton hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's ruler,
Mohammed bin Salman, said he believed the Middle East could be
the "new Europe."
"The next global renaissance, in the next 30 years, will be in
the Middle East," the autocratic leader said in 2018, at the
second iteration of the Saudi-run investment conference the
Future Investment Initiative, or FII.
The investment conference in Saudi Arabia, which ran from
Tuesday to Thursday, is the seventh iteration of the FII, often
nicknamed "Davos in the desert" after the global summit of world
leaders and bankers held annually in Davos, Switzerland.
Despite the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza, around a
thousand kilometers away, only a handful of attendees canceled,
the organizers said.
In Riyadh this week were some of the world's best-known and
wealthiest financiers. That included heads of leading investment
funds and banks like BlackRock, Blackstone, Citigroup, Goldman
Sachs and JP Morgan Chase. Deals worth billions were expected to
be done during the event.
Saudi Arabia's Minister of Investment Khalid al-Falih as saying.
"But for their good and for the good of humanity, we have to
keep the compass focused on the prosperity of our people."
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Israel have all
signed a memorandum of understanding on the trade corridor, as
have a number of European countries and India.
Normalizing with Israel fits in with Saudi Arabia's future plans
because it would allow access to Israeli technology, a possible
defense deal with the United States and potential permission for
its own civilian nuclear program.
The Saudi crown prince has previously argued that regional
stability is necessary to achieve Vision 2030. And "the war is a
threat to his vision of a new Middle East, as a center of
outgoing investment, of integrated tourism and trade," Young
agreed.
"Israel and Saudi Arabia still have shared interests, especially
in seeing Iran as a threat,"
On the second day of the FII, Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed
al-Jadaan told conference attendees that his country didn't want
the Gaza conflict to derail Saudi plans. "So we are making a lot
of efforts with our partners to make sure we go back to where we
were," he said.
"The last thing that Saudi Arabia wants is such a regional
disorder that disrupts the progress of its Vision 2030
megaprojects and development plans," she concluded.

Did MBS’ ‘Fraud’ Lead To Saudi-Yemeni War? Crown Prince ‘Forged
King’s Sign’ On Intervention Decree
[quote]Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been
accused of forging the signature of his father on the Yemen war
decree. The royal decree allegedly signed by the young leader of
the Kingdom launched the years-long stalemated war against
Yemen’s Houthi rebels. The claims were made by Saad al-Jabri, a
former Saudi intelligence official, who lives in exile in
Canada, during an interview with BBC. In his BBC interview,
al-Jabri further alleged MBS considered assassinating former
King Abdullah with a poison ring from Russia. The former Saudi
official said he has seen a secretly recorded surveillance video
of MBS talking about killing his uncle, King Abdullah.

I'm not taking any of the above at face value as of yet, but I
will use this as an opportunity to say: Anyone with true wisdom,
understanding, a hatred of power and fame, and a good heart,
would never want to be a monarch or dictator. Yet, those types
of people are the best types to become monarchs and dictators...

Why is Saudi Arabia doubling down on its relations with the US?
| The Bottom Line
[quote]United States President Donald Trump “looks at Saudi
Arabia like a piggy bank or an ATM machine” and that’s why the
recent Saudi-US summit focused on deals instead of strategic
regional issues, such as Sudan, Palestine, Iran and Syria,
argues political scientist Gregory Gause, professor emeritus of
international affairs at Texas A&M University.
Gause tells host Steve Clemons that if Riyadh can seal a deal to
house a joint AI data centre, “that's the best guarantee of US
security.”
He adds that China may be Saudi Arabia’s biggest customer but
the US is Riyadh’s “preferred partner on security, AI, economics
and defence cooperation”.
