Palestinians set out terms for agreeing to historic Saudi-Israeli deal
BBC ^ | 7/9/23 | Tom Bateman

A cash boost of hundreds of millions of dollars and more control of land in the occupied West Bank are among Palestinian demands in the event of a three-way deal involving the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel, the BBC has learned.

Officials from the Palestinian Authority (PA) held talks in Riyadh with Saudi counterparts on Wednesday.

They were also due to see US officials.

The Americans are long thought to have been pushing for a landmark pact to normalise Israel-Saudi ties.

It would be underwritten by Washington and would include a major security deal the Saudis want to achieve with the US. But the prospects for such agreements face significant obstacles and remain distant.

"We don't expect any imminent announcements or breakthroughs in the period ahead," said White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on Tuesday.

Daniel 9:27 King James Version

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

2nd Thessalonians 2:4 King James Version

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

We’ve been through this movie before. Remember Oslo?

From Eilat, you can see the headlands of KSA across the Red Sea. But they don’t mess with us, and we buy a lot of plastics from them. On the other hand, they use us as their whipping boy, so that the Muslim fanatics will leave them be, despite their decadent lifestyle. They pressure the US to give us a b!tch slapping every now and then, to prove that they’re worthy guardians of the Hijaz.

Middle East and terrorism, occasional political and Jewish issues Ping List. High Volume If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Been doing this for three decades. Palestinian demands will be a moving target. Which Biden will chase. The Saudis may not. The terrorists, they have one legitimate complaint. The "government" negotiating on behalf on the palestinians is illegitimate. No, the US won't take that position. Biden would love one election, 4 year term=17 years to life. But imo any agreement they reach won't be binding. Just the US flushing more $ away. The Saudis, a US security guarantee is worth what they'll send the palestinians.

To those who say the US shouldn't be involved, you're largely correct. This should be between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Thanks to the Biden administration's affection for Iran, they have a serious, near nuclear, enemy.

Biden is imitating Trump on this but the security threat to Israel posed by the “Phallustinian State” was implied by both Presidents in their dealings with the Saudis to cut a deal with Israel.

It would seem to me transferring Area C to terrorist control would be a non starter, though I recognize the Biden administration would be ecstatic.

Why does the US have to be involved in the decision?

Because we subsidize both sides. Hundreds of millions to Palestine. Billions to Israel.

Of course, we shouldn't finance either side. Nor should we be brokering any peace deals (the Abraham Accords included).

How much money do they want?...............

We have said this one million times. There were no Palestinians when Christ was on this earth.

The Palestinians and Mohammed had not formed the Mooselimb church.

The Mooselimb church was formed around 700 A.D.

Now the Mooselimbs want Israel because look and see how beautiful it is. The Israelis have put some work in making Israel beautiful again.

As you probably know SBM, Salamin Bin Mohammed,The Prince, from Saudi Arabia was the pre-eminent leader of a handful that made a great defense alliance overture to Israel during the Trump administration. He is on good terms with Israel and could possibly bring this about.

My guess is that Saudi Arabia will step up with the funding and guarantees. But that’s worth as much as my projection that Alabama beats Texas this weekend.

Trump team achieved major gains by working around the Palis completely and forging bilateral agreements between various states and Israel. Saudi was reported to be on the verge as well but when Trump had to leave office, the initiative dwindled and stalled. Biden’s insane posture toward MbS was the clincher. Now, he and his band of idiots are trying the old fools’ errand of getting the palis involved. Good luck.

We don’t even get to enter Area A, but they get to live in Area C. And that’s just the status quo. Oslo needs to be flushed down the asla (toilet).

The stage is being set. And the actors cast undergo many costume changes.

I know about the money. I guess it was a rhetorical question. And you are right, we shouldn’t be financing or brokering deals.

Trump showed the wisdom of bypassing the Palestinians for peace agreements. They must be made to understand that no one cares want they want. So long as all they can do is drool hatred and rave about killing, they will not have a voice among serious people.
