CAN SAUDI ARABIA RECOGNIZE ISRAEL?

The question is on the lips and minds of analysts and the general public. In an interview with FOX NEWS, Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman said: “We got to see where we go. We hope that it will reach a place, that it will ease the life of the Palestinians, that Israel becomes a player in the Middle East.”

Do these words mean the next normalization between Riyad and Tel Aviv? Some media outlets, such as ARABNEWS, take it almost for granted, pointing out that “If the Biden administration brokered an agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel, it would be the largest agreement since the end of the Cold War.

But it must be taken into account that the Prince has also highlighted that the cause of the Palestinian people "is still very important for Saudi Arabia" -

The peace plan presented at an Arab Summit by Saudi Arabia in Beirut in March 2002 stated that:

Emanating from the conviction of the Arab countries that a military solution to the

conflict will not achieve peace or provide security for the parties, the council:

1. Requests Israel to reconsider its policies and declare that a just peace is its

strategic option as well.

2. Further calls upon Israel to affirm:

I- Full Israeli withdrawal from all the territories occupied since 1967, including the

Syrian Golan Heights, to the June 4, 1967 lines as well as the remaining occupied

Lebanese territories in the south of Lebanon.

II- Achievement of a just solution to the Palestinian refugee problem to be agreed

upon in accordance with U.N. General Assembly Resolution 194.

III- The acceptance of the establishment of a sovereign independent Palestinian

state on the Palestinian territories occupied since June 4, 1967 in the West Bank

and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

3. Consequently, the Arab countries affirmed the following:

I- Consider the Arab-Israeli conflict ended, and enter into a peace agreement with

Israel, and provide security for all the states of the region.

II- Establish normal relations with Israel in the context of this comprehensive peace.

4. Assures the rejection of all forms of Palestinian patriation which conflict with the

special circumstances of the Arab host countries.

5. Calls upon the government of Israel and all Israelis to accept this initiative in order

to safeguard the prospects for peace and stop the further shedding of blood,

enabling the Arab countries and Israel to live in peace and good neighborliness and

provide future generations with security, stability and prosperity.

6. Invites the international community and all countries and organizations to support this initiative.

Taking into account the content of the Arab proposal, recognizing Israel without compensation in the Palestinian case would not be a good option. Let's hope that Riyadh acts in the most reliable way, since the word of the Jewish state cannot be taken as sure.

                         لماذا نحن هنا؟ Information is an important element in the world we live in. Fake news leads us to believe the opposite of reality. In a Middle Eastern region where the bloody war in Gaza continues, it is important to report the truth; the genocide and Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as the situation in Syria. This is what we do at ARABINFOCUS. We have therefore humbly asked for donations from members of the HH Arab Royal Houses; from His Highnesses Emirs and from important Muslim personalities who have the financial means to make a donation. We have asked them for a simple donation. Only one anonymous Saudi helped us. All the others have ignored us and have not given us even  a dinar.  Why this ignorance against ARABINFOCUS? Our fight against Jewish Zionism deserved help. But a HH Crown Prince; HH sheikhs; HH emirs;  Prime ministers; all have scorned us, instea...

          IS FOOTBALL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ARABIC CULTURE? Qatar and Saudi Arabia have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hiring top-class soccer players in Europe to elevate and give greater prestige to their national championships in this sport. Football is a global distraction and, therefore, there is nothing to criticize about these operations. It is absolutely normal and correct that the two Arab countries have made that expense. But this situation moves us to ask some questions: 1.- Soccer is more important than the values of the culture of the Arab Nation. ? 2.-Is Soccer more important than reporting and condemning Israel's criminal aggressions against the Palestinian people? 3.-Is Soccer more important than defending Islam and its values and teachings, when it is being subjected to unfair attacks from some Western countries? 4.- Is Soccer more important than explaining and defending the values of the holy book of the Quran, subject of attacks, de...

                ONE HUNDRED KILLED IN THE ATTACK ON A SCHOOL IN GAZA Genocide and war crimes continue in Gaza, although Prime Minister Netanyahu says he is willing to resume peace negotiations. In the attack on a school this Friday, 100 Palestinians died, some of whom are women and children. Israel justified the missile attack, stating that the school served as a refuge for Hamas militants, but has not presented the slightest evidence to justify the version of the Jewish armed forces. It's the same old story. Every time Israel attacks a school, a hospital or a refugee camp, it justifies it by claiming that those places were used by the military branch of Hamas. But don't look for proof because there isn't any. The school attacked with missiles was Al-Tabin, in the Daraj area, in the capital of the Palestinian enclave. The school was completely destroyed. Meanwhile, the Palestinian and Lebanese populations continue to wait for the announced attack ...
