CAPITALS July 02. 2023 (SABA) - Despite the Saudi regime's official denial that the normalization of its relations with the Zionist enemy entity is conditional on the resolution of the Palestinian question, according to the determinants of the Arab peace initiative in the region, its officials make pragmatic statements affirming Saudi Arabia's abandonment of this requirement and considering the Zionist enemy as a potential ally, especially at the strategic level.
The latest statement, revealed by Saudi Ambassador to Washington Princess Reema bint Bandar at a recent conference of an American research center in Aspen, Colorado, that Saudi Arabia is focusing on complementarity in normal relations with the Zionist enemy state it wants to thrive.
Ambassador Reema said: "Her country focuses on complementarity with the entity of the Zionist enemy, not just normalization.
The Ambassador of Saudi Arabia claimed that the Kingdom wants a prosperous Red Sea economy, because Vision 2030 speaks of an integrated Middle East, and Saudi Arabia's goal is to "integrate" with the entity of the Zionist enemy.
"Normalization is to sit there, and I'm sitting here, and we're together, but separately, integration means that our peoples, our actions, our young people thrive, we're talking about an integrated Middle East, unified like the European bloc, we all have sovereign rights and sovereign states, and a common interest."
As talk approaches of normalization between Saudi Arabia and the Zionist enemy, media outlets have revealed Saudi conditions for a public normalization deal with the occupying entity, not including a solution to the Palestinian issue.
The Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's administration has recently been reluctant to dispense with the requirement of a two-State solution, in exchange for security guarantees to protect against any possible attack, as well as facilities to establish a nuclear programme that would protect against Iran's nuclear programme.
A report published by Zionist website Ynet, quoted by The New York Times, revealed three conditions dictated by the Mohammed bin Salman administration in exchange for abandoning the requirement to dissolve the two states to complete normalization, namely "guarantees from Washington to protect Saudi Arabia from a military attack, a Saudi-American uranium enrichment partnership for a civilian nuclear programme, and the removal of restrictions on the sale of American arms to Saudi Arabia."
The Former US ambassador to the Zionist entity, Martin Indyk numbered three "expensive" demands of the Saudi Crown Prince, in order to further normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and that entity.
This came in Indyk's interview with colleague Becky Anderson for CNN, Indyk said: "The U.S. president wants it" to normalize Saudi-Zionist relations. "Netanyahu wants it. The Saudi Crown Prince wants it, but Mohammed bin Salman has a high price."
The Saudi Crown Prince demands "a security guarantee from the United States such as NATO's Article V commitment to Saudi Arabia, wants the free flow of weapons including F-35s from the United States, and wants Washington to give the green light to an independent Saudi uranium enrichment capability, which he requests."
"I think President Biden, affected by the diplomatic coup that prompted the Chinese to take a sudden step through this mediation in the rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia, I think" Biden "is looking for a victory when it comes to the Gulf, and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia has indicated to his advisers that he is ready and willing to do so with President Biden." Indyk continued.
What confirms that Saudi Arabia does not require a solution to the Palestinian issue in exchange for full normalization with the Zionist entity. A source in the Saudi royal family revealed that his country has no intention of reversing its demands from Washington in the context of normalization between the Zionist entity and Saudi Arabia. At this stage, security assurances were at the forefront of priorities, not ensuring a solution to the Palestinian question.
"Riyadh has no intention of reneging on any of the demands they have made to the Americans" in the context of Saudi security "in exchange for normalization with the Zionist enemy," the source said in remarks to Zionist channel Kan11.
According to the same Saudi official who spoke to the channel's correspondent Ro'i Kass, Saudi Arabia's top priority these days is to ensure its security, and thus the same demands were given to Americans "security guarantees, green light for sophisticated arms deals, and green light for a Saudi nuclear program."
The source believed that he does not see a great possibility that the current administration in Washington would be able to respond to Saudi Arabia's demands, given the weakness it shows inside and outside the United States.
In the light of these various statements indicating that Saudi Arabia is willing to abandon the Palestinian cause in exchange for approval of previous demands, the Gulf expert at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv told Middle East Eye website Yoel Guzansky: Saudi demands for an independent Palestinian state are likely to be a negotiating position, but "Riyadh's normalization wish list certainly includes something in the Palestinian arena, the requirement for an independent state may be waived, but it must be addressed and it is not clear that this Zionist government may agree to this requirement."
In this context, i24 News reported that the reality confirms that Mohammed bin Salman's policy towards the Zionist entity has witnessed many political ripples, but there are many reports confirming that the Saudi Zionist relationship has improved since 2020.
The website noted that Mohammed bin Salman has set conditions for accession to the Abraham Accords, including U.S. safeguards for Saudi Arabia's security, technical management of the nuclear energy program, and the lifting of restrictions on arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
The website concluded its report by indicating that cooperation between Saudi Arabia and the Zionist entity is up to the military and intelligence level. It also appears that the next period will see some sort of breaking down of the barriers between Saudi Arabia and this entity.
For some time, Saudi Arabia and the United States have been in talks about the return requested by Riyadh for the normalization of relations with the Zionist enemy, as part of the expansion of the framework of the so-called "Abraham Accords" 2020, translated into the signing of normalization agreements between the Hebrew State, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco.
According to The New York Times, negotiations from the US side are being led by North Africa and Middle East National Security Council Coordinator Brett McGurk and Biden's chief energy aide Amos Hochstein.
On the Saudi side, the newspaper quoted two officials familiar with the statement: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman played a direct role in the negotiations, but the most prominent negotiator was Saudi Ambassador to Washington Princess Reema bint Bandar.
Against the backdrop of several statements, both official and informal, unveiled in recent months which reflects unprecedented levels and circles of direct and close cooperation between the Zionist entity and Saudi Arabia, many experts and analysts believe that the Saudi regime's claims that the Palestinian cause is at the top of its priorities cannot be believed. He would not normalize free of charge with the occupation entity, especially under Mohammed bin Salman, whose failure of the Palestinian cause was well known, and his openness to the first enemy of the Arab and Islamic nations.
Analysts cited the diligence of the head of the Saudi regime, Mohammed bin Salman, to adopt the Zionist narrative of its right to occupy Palestine in order to consolidate the foundations of his rule. In an interview with "The Atlantic" magazine in March 2022, He said: "The Zionist entity has the right to exist on the usurped Palestinian territories. There are a lot of mutual interests between them. He described the Palestinian resistance as terrorist and supported its placement on the lists of American and Arab terrorism."
This is unlike what was revealed in November 2020 about the meeting of the Saudi Crown Prince secretly gathered Prime Minister of the Zionist enemy Netanyahu and Mossad President Yossi Cohen in the city of Neom on the Red Sea coast for five hours; This was confirmed by several Zionist news sites.
In 2022, the Zionist economic newspaper Globes reported that a number of Zionist businessmen had visited Saudi Arabia in recent years. The report revealed that "Zionist businessmen have made major deals in Saudi Arabia via a special visa, and that there are advanced contacts to attract investment from Saudi businessmen and investment funds in the Zionist entity; that would manage funds that would help the enemy entity consolidate its occupation of Palestine and the Golan, and fuel its expansionist aspirations in the region ".
In parallel, the Saudi school curricula have undergone extensive changes, including the removal of religious content that is not in line with calls for harmony and affection towards followers of religions that oppose Islam, especially the Jews.
The State Department's latest report on human rights in Saudi Arabia said that anti-Zionist religious discourse had become "abandoned and rarely occurred."
Thus, the reality of often talked about Saudi officials' desire for normalization with the Zionist enemy shows that the Palestinian issue was never on the table for differences from the issue of normalization with the Zionist entity, but they are waiting for time to set a timetable for their betrayal.
In addition, some analysts consider the Saudi assessment of the future of normalization with the Zionist enemy to be a strategic issue. If it is gradual, and it becomes unmasked, no justification whatsoever. But at the same time it is preparing free occupation services for the Palestinian people, Giving legitimacy and cover to its ongoing crimes and contributing to the delineation of normalization with the entity of the Zionist enemy to become a fait accompli in the region is promoting the Zionist enemy's incursion into the region and increasing its influence.
Prolonged downfall and in preparation for the upcoming, analysts note that the normalization train between Riyadh and Tel Aviv is speeding up and folding its last stations as much as expected; To ascertain that Saudi Arabia will soon be in clear formal normal relations with the Zionist enemy, after the Saudi regime resolved its order and decided to proceed with the journey to its conclusion is not disadvantaged by the new liquidation of the Palestinian cause.
