I hope Israel tosses Netanyahu and elects a more liberal leader who doesn’t want to genocide their neighbors. Netanyahu fucking sucks. Hamas fucking sucks. I want both to become history and for Israel to have peace with Palestine and the rest of the Arab world

Part of the intent behind the attack by Hamas was presumably to prevent normalization by inflaming ideological opposition, but normalization is still the pragmatic course of action. Israel is not a threat to Saudi Arabia and Iran is a common enemy. I’m not sure how interpret the envoy’s remarks about an independent Palestinian state in this context, given that the current Israeli government is not open to that idea. I suspect that Mohammed bin Salman is privately more concerned about practical matters than about Palestinian statehood but he does not wish to openly pursue such an unpopular foreign policy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Saudi Arabia is interested in normalization with Israel following the conclusion of the IDF’s war on Hamas in Gaza, the Saudi ambassador to the UK, Khalid bin Bandar Al Saud, said in an interview with the BBC on Tuesday.

According to the ambassador, prior to the October 7 massacre, both countries were close to reaching an agreement.

So, while we still - going forward after 7 October - believe in normalization, it does not come at the cost of the Palestinian people," adding as a final note, “One doesn’t come without the other.”

The ambassador voiced his disapproval at the reaction of the international community to the situation in Gaza, saying its efforts at ending the fighting and sending humanitarian aid to the Strip were insufficient.

In November, despite reports that Saudi Arabia had desisted from any normalization plan due to the war, the White House confirmed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was still committed to a normalization deal.

In September, Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, said that his country was getting closer to a deal with the Jewish State “every day.”

Bonesaw wants to diversify his economy away from oil before the world dumps fossil fuels and Saudi goes back to being an impoverished shit hole. He’s desperate to catch up with the Emiratis who started modernizing 30 years ago and now attract the bulk of FDI in the region. They also signed a peace agreement with Israel under the Abraham accords. Got to keep up with the Jones’s.

Bonesaw is a psychopath who doesn’t give a fuck about Palestine.The Israelis technological edge in massacring civilians probably gives him a hard on. He wants some of that.
