A potential component of Saudi-Israeli normalization would allow the U.S. to help Saudi Arabia develop a nuclear program. In contrast, U.S. hostility to Iranian nuclear capabilities shows a dangerous double standard.
The New York Times says the American missile strike in Syria targets a “network of militias that are backed by Iran and committed to subverting the interests of the United States and its allies.” What in hell does that mean?
There is only one explanation for the normalization deals between Arab states and Israel: the geopolitical position of Iran.
The Bahrain-Israel deal is significant because the kingdom is a virtual protectorate of the Saudis. There are serious concerns that a Saudi involvement with Israel will only lead to further tightening of measures against the Palestinian cause. And Iran will rise in prestige in Palestinian global affairs.
The crown prince and de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman, now appears to be parroting Israeli propaganda. The Saudi leader prince Mohammed Bin Salman is reported as saying that Palestinians “missed one opportunity after another” and that they should “shut up and stop complaining.”
