    I wonder if his public conditioning a deal on the Palestinian issue was a demand from Blinken/Biden to stop him and Bibi from basing a deal on bombing the Houthis and Tehran.

  2. In his conversation with Blinken, the Saudi crown prince allegedly remarked, “Seventy percent of my population is younger than me. For most of them, they never really knew much about the Palestinian issue. And so they are being introduced to it for the first time through this conflict. It’s a huge problem. Am I personally interested in the Palestinian issue? I don’t but my people do so I have to make sure that’s meaningful.”

    Cliffs, he doesn’t care but his subjects do and might try to kill them if they become to friendly without concessions made to Palestinians.

    Might be good if they can get rid of Hamas and start an organization made with the future in mind and something about Palestinian identity that isn’t just hating Israel.

  3. I mean that’s the unspoken crux of the issue for Palestinians – some members of the public sympathize with them, but nobody truly cares, much less a state actor. For most they’re either an annoyance or a convenience, and they’ve missed or rejected every chance to become anything different.

  4. Virtually every country in the Middle East outside of the axis of resistance terror squad gives 0 shits about Palestine.

  5. Arabs leaders constantly attacks Israel on the world stage, but doing the complete opposite in close doors.

  6. In fact, no one in Arabian Peninsula cares, maybe with the exception of Houthis.

    They got filthy rich. Qatar, Bahain, UAE, Oman, Kuwait and the Saudis as of today has zero reasons to blame “Jews” or whatever for their problems. They are in the “lets make money babe!!” vibe.

    They got it all, they are now developed, they attained decent HDI and are well integrated with world’s economies.

    All in all, what they want is to diversify their economies and see in Israel a great partner for that.

  7. They are the red-headed step child of the Middle East. The problem that has no real solution and is the impediment to moving forward. They are family so can’t be totally ignored, but an embarrassment at the family gatherings. Constantly thrown in your face as an example of “if you really cared”, yet no one else wants to have them stay at their house. The few times they’ve been invited to stay, they’ve created a mess and had to be asked to leave, sometimes forcefully. So yeah he doesn’t care for the Palestinians.

    Shame, we are all against the terrorist organisations like Hamas but Palestinians are also people that deserve peace and prosperity as neighbours of Israel after all the struggles they lived

  9. Arab and other countries only care about Palestinians because they can use it to earn concessions from the west. If it was anyone else than Israel or a western country doing the alleged oppression, e.g. Assad regime, Iran, Africa, etc, none of them would care or call for the return of refugees.

  10. It’s not really in their interests. Palestinian leadership made a deal with the devil (Iran) in the hopes of using force to achieve their goals. And their losing. And the rest of the region aren’t huge fans of Iran.
