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.
Agree
