    It’s kinda unusual for Saudi Arabia to stick up for Palestinians, isn’t it? Am I wrong about that?

    ETA: After a little reading, it seems that I am wrong about that but “it’s complicated.”

      SA has been working on a two-state solution for a while now, that was what Kushner was supposed to be working on during the Trump administration when he wound up getting a loan of $5 billion from the Saudis, however Qatar is the country where HAMAS leadership are hiding out.

        Yeah, just today I remembered that Kushner has already “solved” this problem when I read an interview about the future of this conflict depending on the future US president. The interviewee said Trump hates Netanyahu because he congratulated Biden when he won the 2020 election, so the US would probably not pressure Israel to resolve the conflict, but also not help Israel out.

          Trump famously hated Netanyahu before 2020 also. He even said the quiet part out loud, that Netanyahu has no intention to resolve the situation whatsoever. He just also really loves Israel, so it’s kinda irrelevant.

            Always painful when we need to say it, but Trump wasn’t wrong on this one, that guy definitely knows autocrats very well. Netanyahu should have been ousted long ago, he’s been a thorn in the side of the peace process for as long as he’s had power and will continue to be.
