The Saudis may
be preparing for “an eventual deal with Israel” following the normalization of
the UAE and Bahraini with Israel. As
early as March 2002, the “Crown Prince Abdullah Peace Plan” held out an olive
branch to Israel, which was endorsed by the Arab League. The plan was reaffirmed in 2007 and 2017. More recently Saudi Prince Bandar
bin Sultan Al-Saud, who has been a longtime critic of the Palestinian
Authorities’ failure to reconcile with Israel, has again been critical of the Palestinian
leadership for its rejection of the UAE-Israel peace agreement. There is a longing among many for Israelis
and Palestinians to live peaceful and godly lives. However, for various reasons, the Palestinian
Authority (PA) has not been able to move forward and the situation is
complicated because Hamas has become separated and at odds with the PA. Can the Saudis help?
