June 11, 2018 -- US, Israeli, PA, and Saudi Arabia -- a change in the Middle East


As Trump-Abbas ties soured, a bad phone line epitomized their broken connection


Here are a few points from some of the sections from the article.

6. In meetings with US officials in Saudi Arabia and in the US, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has “routinely remarked that ‘Israel’s never attacked us,’ and ‘we share a common enemy,'” and has “privately said that he was prepared to have a full relationship with Israel.”

From section 8:  The article claims that Salman is to have said, “I’m going to deliver the Palestinians,” and that Trump "is going to deliver the Israelis.”

From sections 11-15:  Following his election, President Trump's relationship seems to have started off well with the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.  However, it later soured.  It is now uncertain whether or not Abbas will accept the coming peace plan.
