MEMO
Saudi Arabia has reiterated that it will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without the creation of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, amid reports that US President Donald Trump is seeking to link a civil nuclear agreement with Riyadh to Saudi normalisation with Israel.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Trump has referred the US-Saudi civil nuclear cooperation agreement to Congress for review but has stipulated that it will not take effect unless Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords.
“The president’s position has not changed, and the agreement will not move forward unless Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords,” the newspaper quoted a US administration source as saying.
The reported condition follows the signing of the nuclear agreement last month by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.
A Saudi source quoted by Israel’s Channel 12 rejected linking the nuclear agreement to normalisation, saying Riyadh’s position on relations with Israel remained unchanged.
“The Saudi position is clear, firm and unwavering,” the source said. “There will be no diplomatic relations with Israel without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
The source maintained that Saudi Arabia’s civilian nuclear program forms part of its broader strategic partnership with Washington and should not be conditional on establishing relations with Israel.

It appears that the Sauds have finally found the moral fortitude to stand against the zionist entity and its JooSA puppet! Well done!

Israel is going down the tubes. Their economy is kaput because so many small business owners have ether fled the county or are fighting on the front lines. And the US debt problem is so extreme that they aren’t going rebuild their GCC bases (to protect Israel) or continue to bail Israel out economically or militarily.

There are many pro-Palestinian Jews. I have a friend born in Israel who comes from a very old family of Arab Jews.

The actual Jews aren’t the problem! The Ashkenazi zionist converts to judaism, the NON semites with the victim cards and the superiority complex, are the big problem. Real Jews, Arabs and Christians coexist quite happily in Palestine for centuries until the zio filth invaded the country!
