Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with the crown prince and prime minister of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, on Monday evening to discuss an Israeli “ceasefire” against the Hamas terrorist organization and “greater integration” in the Middle East.

Multiple reports suggested that Blinken and bin Salman, widely considered the de facto ruler of the kingdom, discussed plans in which Saudi Arabia would normalize its diplomatic relations with Israel in exchange for a major security agreement with the United States and forcing Israel to recognize a “Palestinian state,” presumably governed by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.

I am sure Blinken bought his kneepads along

[ridesthemiles]

I wonder how long the PRINCE had uncontrollable laughter

[Red Badger]

MBS: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!........................

[Racketeer]

Ol’ Tony does not understand he is simply being played!!

[plain talk]

"forcing Israel to recognize a “Palestinian state,” presumably governed by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank."

Wow. Why single out Israel and not have joint recognition? These dems are nuts.

I am sure Blinken bought his kneepads along

And plenty of extra strength chapstick.

MBS seems to have double the IQ and street smarts as Blinken. he has no love for the Palestinians - and i suspect he has his eye on DJT’s polls and what that might mean for the ME. also during the Obama years the Saudis and Israelis opened back channels due to fear of Iran. i suspect MBS has maintained an open line to Bibi. these guys are all into RealPolitik unlike JoBlinken.

[HYPOCRACY]

The Bushes set the stage for SA to boss around our leaders. Dirty ragheads. They did whatever Trump asked. Even his Jewish SIL was listened to by the Saudi scum. Now they just bitchslap twerps like Blinken.

I don't want Blinken to demand an immediate ceasefire for Hamas, I want Blinken to demand an immediate ceasefire from Hamas. Better still, unconditional surrender from Hamas and return any hostages that may still be living.

Biden trying to look tough and diplomatic through the aptly named Blinken as I’m sure the price saw him doing that as he proposed this BS

They have to be laughing at the change from Trump who at least brokered a true deal for peace vs Bozo Joeys once again failed diplomacy

[OldHarbor]

The Us State Dept has no statesmen. All they have to offer is arms sales, the CIA and a healthy dose of LGBQT ideology.

Unconditional surrender of Hamas and return of all hostages, whether living or dead.

[bray]

When Hamas release the hostages the war is over.

[EQAndyBuzz]

I recognize a Pali state. Just not within 500 miles of Israel.

[rktman]

Spitter?

This is why in their first meeting the CCP referred to Blinkin (open mike) as Baizuo — useful white idiot.

[Reily]

MBS wants to try to turn Saudi Arabia into a “normal” country. One that can support other economic activity other then oil, like tourism. I wish him well in his endeavor though I am skeptical of his ability to deliver on that. To normalize SA would undermine Wahabism which is the flavor of Islam that gives his family’s (House of Saud) takeover of Arabia back in the 1920s its legitimacy. He knows that it has to change, the question is can he pull it off without a religious civil war.

House of Saud ALREADY has a “relationship” with Israel. See: Saudi Air Force shooting down Iranian missile/drone mass attack.

Winkin’ Blinkin and JoeBama Nod Biden Stopped the US part of the Abraham Accords... but UAE, and Saudis did not. The issue for the protector of Mecca is IRAN. Removal of the threat of Iran to Saudi pre-eminence in oil and all else. Just as Saudis aided in Syrian ISIL campaign and also for that matter in Iraq I and II. So Iran is always held outside and diminished— except for idiot DNC clowns like John Kerry who wants Iran to have nukes- Saudis don’t want them having them.

Entire trip here by Blinken is show biz and will accomplish nothing— the only chip he has is maintenance and parts for the many US aircraft US mil-industrials sold to Saudis. They can withdraw the bases they let us use— like that. So Blinken has nothing. A real tool FOOL!

[John S Mosby]

“multiple reports suggested” what US propagandists are fake leaking. Bin Salman discussed no such thing. What a joke- this is NOT a news item or any agreement.

[John S Mosby]

The Saudis like all else in Arabia want NOTHING to do with Palestinians... period. Only the Qataris hosting Hamas leadership and escrowing Iran payments and accounts to Hamas— want the “palestinians” preserved. Status post Abraham Accords WAS working fine... until this MORON joebags and Blinken came along to “help” Iran.
