Israel's answer to Prince Al Turki should be: "bite me."
Meh... there's more to the Saudi plan than meets the eye. The Saudis and the rest of the arab US clients(Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE etc...) are desperate to get out from under Iran's shadow. Normalized relations with Israel go a long way towards tilting the balance of power back in their favor. Syria is also showing signs of being amenable to a Libya style turn around, assuming they can get security guarantees.

The MSM is terrible for this sort of news. It's much better to read primary sources or listen to policy makers talk amongst themselves.

At least it’s a sign that maybe they too are getting tired of war.

Normalize relations with Israel are you daft?
Do you honestly believe that an arab country wants Israel to even exists?

I think it’s telling that the Syrians have quit yapping about the Golan Heights after the IAF first shut down their entire air defense network and then blasted their North Korean built reactor back in September.

Can you ever trust a Muslim, though? Isn’t deception one of their virtues?
