Saudi Arabian ambassador to the UK said to the BBC on Tuesday that his country is interested in normalization with Israel after the war, with one condition - the creation of a Palestinian State.
Bonesaw wants to diversify his economy away from oil before the world dumps fossil fuels and Saudi goes back to being an impoverished shit hole. He’s desperate to catch up with the Emiratis who started modernizing 30 years ago and now attract the bulk of FDI in the region. They also signed a peace agreement with Israel under the Abraham accords. Got to keep up with the Jones’s.
Bonesaw is a psychopath who doesn’t give a fuck about Palestine.The Israelis technological edge in massacring civilians probably gives him a hard on. He wants some of that.
I doubt it. Saudi Arabians are lazy and arrogant. The Emiratis are too but they have a tiny population (only 10% of the population, approx 1 million, is Emirati) and so they can afford to outsource everything to Western professionals Eastern oligarchs and slave labour. Saudi Arabia has 35 million people, half of whom are actual Saudis who are expecting to live a life of subsidized comfort for ever. On top of that there are oppressed Shia and religious extremists waiting to bring back real Sharia. As soon as growth stalls there will be trouble. Hence Bonesaw’s desperation to roll out insane Mega Projects that Western consultants are happy to charge a fortune for and to ignore distractions like Yemen and Palestine.
