Saudi Arabia, Israel Normalisation May Backfire by shehuolayinka(m): 3:41pm On Nov 22, 2017
It is no news that Saudi Arabia, some Arab countries and Israel are already working towards normalisation I of relations.

This is good, but it would have been better, if the intention or reason behind it wasn't undermining Palestine struggle or even working to counter the growing influence of Iran, Hezbollah in the Middle East.

The intention seem to be the fight for who is superior in the middle east and Muslim world

Everyone want an end to the Israel vs Palestine/Muslim crisis, and no one in his right thinking mind would be happy, except… that the crisis rages on without any solution to finding lasting peace.

It has raged for so long and an end to it will be good. But the manner and pattern in which Saudi Arabia, Israel and America (Trump) seem to be handling the crisis is dangerous and will definitely backfire.

A thaw in relationships between Jews and Arabs is is okay and should be supported by all.

Mohammed Bin Salman, the brilliant and young Crown Prince much with his intention of easing and relaxing some of Saudi Arabia harsh and stupid rules is well welcome to join in the politics world.

His efforts toward transforming Saudi Arabia from self-reliance on oil to other means of generating should be applauded, but his steps when it comes to international politics and affairs of the Muslim world, notably the Palestine crisis may well cut short his promising and bright future as king.

The radical reformer has already started, with the ongoing purge of those who may stand in his way when he finally assume the leadership role, coupled with that he is also supervising a war in Yemen, confronting Qater, Lebanon, and scheming to reduce the influence of Iran in the Middle East and beyond.

His plan of normalising relations with the Jewish state, without first agreeing on a favourable solution to Palestine and Israel's crisis will in a long run be detrimental and counterproductive to Saudi Arabia.

It is known a fact that majority of Muslims have pure disdain and hatred towards Israel.

Any solution that will be against a Palestinian Statehood and Israel total withdrawal from Palestinian lands and ending of blockage will ignite a more intense wave of sympathy towards Palestine cause.

You expect Donald Trump, the erratic and unstable President of America to behave in such manner towards Palestinians.

His announcing that the license of the PLO office in Washington will not be renewed, shows he is picking sides and has giving a clear understanding on his pattern of finding a solution to the decades old problem.

You would expect it from any American President, but not Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia supporting Trump plan by delegitimasing Palestinian with the supposed peace plan put forward by US President Donald Trump's special adviser, Jared Kushner, which is believed to favour Israel, will in long run affect Saudi Arabia and it voices in the Muslim world.

Helping Donald Trump push the deal on Palestinians and forcing them to accept it might as well pit it against Arab communities, Iran it harsh enemy and Muslim majority countries that have for years stood their grounds on the Palestinian cause.

It's claimed by some that Saudi Arabia intention of normalising ties with Israel is based on wanting Israel to be part of a deterrence plan against the Persian State in Middle East, but it will only do the opposite, “legitimising Iran”.

The answers he is getting from the calculator he is using will only fasten his downfall, and needs to be modify or change it.

Normalising ties with Israel without a solution to the crisis between Palestine and Israel in essence will delegimatising Palestinians and it cause.

His actions will only help Iran and Hezbollah and thereby unstabling the Middle East more.

His actions will only help Iran and Hezbollah and thereby also unstable the even Middle East more.
