Saudi Arabia: Thank you, but no thank you!

As Saudi Arabia attempts to assume the unilateral leadership role in the Arab World, it has welcomed the Palestinian issue as a component in the negotiations because it is looking for a save-face measure in front of the Arab and Muslim worlds to normalize with Israel, which seems to be one of the conditions the Biden Administration has placed on Saudi Arabia to be able to reach a historic U.S.- Saudi Arabia deal.

“Understanding Israel/Palestine: Race, Nation, and Human Rights in the Conflict” by Eve Spangler [Recommended]

The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is the longest on-going hot-and-cold war in the 20th and 21st century.
