So it's just rhetoric, for PR, and to make any potential deal more palatable to the population. I think the reality is Saudi Arabia would gladly throw the Palestinians under the bus if they get a good deal, I don't think Palestine is the sticking point; they want nuclear power and Israel is against it. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/saudi-arabia-nuclear-abraham-accords Call me cynical but I really don't think the Israeli genocide in Gaza has significantly shifted the Saudi's position. They still just want money like everyone else, and a replacement energy for when their oil production crashes, which I believe is due to peak in 2027. --- ~we are a part of the process, not instigators of its progress~ ...
