Apparently he told the Palestinians that they have erred by not making peace with Israel. He is cooperating with Israel against their common nemesis Iran. This is a de facto recognition of the Jewish state. It remains to be seen if he will survive the antipathy and resentment of the fundamentalists and the jihadists. It would be important for Mossad and the CIA to infiltrate the Wahhabi and other Islamic groups to be aware of any plots they may be hatching. As they say on the street, “Watch your back”.
King Salman reiterated Saudi Arabia’s support for a Palestinian state after his son and heir apparent said Israelis were entitled to live peacefully on their own land - a rare statement by an Arab leader.
King Salman reaffirmed “the kingdom’s steadfast position toward the Palestinian issue and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital”, state news agency SPA said on Tuesday.
Sounds like a leftie that goes off the plantation over here, LOL.
But they have been working with Israel against their common enemy, Iran. If Iran is somehow defeated, will they then turn against Israel again? Probably, but we can hope.
