'Don't be Netanyahu's idiot': US cannot gift Israel peace with Saudis - Friedman
|
Thomas Friedman's soul screams
[Jpost] Washington and Riyadh must not help Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government drive Israel over a cliff by gifting it a normalization deal with Saudi Arabia, New York Times columnist Tom Friedman urged in a piece he published on Tuesday.
"Do not let Netanyahu make you his useful idiots," Friedman wrote in an appeal to US President Joe Biden and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
"You cannot have normalization with an Israeli government that is not normal. It will never be a stable US ally or Saudi partner. And right now, Israel’s government is not normal."
Bibi the second most hated man in Liberal World?
I understand why they hate Putin - he crushed their Globalist Dream. But all Bibi does is to keep Israel alive. (Incidentally, most of the people protesting [ostensibly against High Court reform, but actually against Netanyahu's government] would be a lot poorer without his 90es liberalization of the Economy)
He spoke amid heightened diplomatic activity to reach a security agreement between Riyadh and Washington that would include a normalization deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel in exchange for gestures to the Palestinians.
Netanyahu, Friedman wrote, is trying to "sweet talk" the United States into a deal by which he can both curtail Israel’s Supreme Court while becoming a "domestic hero" through a deal with Saudi Arabia that would only make cosmetic gestures to the Palestinians and allow Israel to continue to annex the West Bank.
Saudi royal clan never does anything that's not good for Saudi royal clan. And to survive in multipolar world, they need strong allies. And they, just like everybody else, don't give a f@ck about Palestinians (except for keeping them out of the Kingdom) - these were just an anti-Israeli tool for the times when Iran wasn't a serious threat.
