Saudi Arabia Seeks Normalization With Israel Despite All The Zionist Crimes

American writer Thomas Friedman said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a dilemma, with contacts being made to establish diplomatic relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, in addition to planning a ground military operation in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. In his article entitled “Israel must choose: Rafah or Riyadh?!” in the New York Times, Friedman said that Netanyahu faces “one of the most fateful choices that Israel has ever had to make.” Friedman stressed that Israel’s decision to storm the city of Rafah, south of Gaza “will only exacerbate Israel’s global isolation, and will increase divisions within the administration of US President Joe Biden,” according to his assessment. The American writer, an expert in Middle East affairs, spoke about the options of the Israeli government, considering that the option against the attack on Rafah is “normalization with Saudi Arabia.” , Arab peacekeeping forces in Gaza, and a US-led security coalition against Iran.” Friedman noted, “This would come at a different price: the commitment of your government (Benjamin Netanyahu) to work toward the establishment of a Palestinian state with a reformed Palestinian Authority, but with the advantage Integrating Israel into the broadest American-Arab-Israeli defensive alliance that the Jewish state has ever enjoyed (…) creates at least some hope that the conflict with the Palestinians will not be a forever war.” Friedman warned against the takeover of the mentality of revenge and its transformation into a policy among Israeli leaders, saying: “It is absolutely insane that Israel is now more than six months into this war, and that the Israeli military leadership, and almost the entire political class, have allowed Netanyahu to continue to seek complete victory and retaliation there without any exit plan or Arab partner lined up to intervene once the war is over.” The American writer revealed that, during his conversation with senior Saudi officials regarding the war in Gaza, he found that Riyadh’s policy says, “All Israel is doing at this stage is killing more and more civilians, turning the Saudis who preferred normalization with Israel against it, and creating more… Recruits for Al-Qaeda and ISIS, empowering Iran and its allies, fomenting instability, and driving away much-needed foreign investment” in Saudi Arabia. He said, “The path that Israel can take now is the path established by the Biden administration and the Saudis, Egyptians, Jordanians, Bahrainis, Moroccans, and Emiratis (…) That is more realistic than the complete victory that Netanyahu promises,” as he estimated. He added, “This is one of the most fateful choices Israel has ever had to make. What I find disturbing and frustrating at the same time is that today there is no major Israeli leader in the ruling coalition, the opposition, or the army who consistently helps Israelis understand this choice – a global pariah or partner.” In the Middle East – or explains why that should be. Choose the second. Friedman also pointed out that if Israel storms Rafah as it did in Khan Yunis and in Gaza City, it will do so in a way that is unacceptable to the American administration, and Biden will be forced to consider placing restrictions on arms supplies. To Israel, Friedman referred to international media talk about tension over the Rafah issue, and even American sources were quoted, stating that the United States is considering banning the use of American weapons in the operation, and added: “Now it has become clear that this is not possible, and they do not have them “There is an interest in prolonging the war. Everything Israel is doing now leads to killing civilians, increasing the number of people involved in Al-Qaeda and ISIS, and strengthening Iran and its allies – in addition to changing the opinion of the Saudis who supported normalization with Israel.”
