According to The Atlantic, Blinken enquired whether the Saudis could tolerate Israel periodically re-entering the territory to strike the besieged Gaza Strip.

“They can come back in six months, a year, but not on the back end of my signing something like this,” Mohammed bin Salman responded.

“Seventy percent of my population is younger than me,” the crown prince explained to Blinken.

“For most of them, they never really knew much about the Palestinian issue. And so they’re being introduced to it for the first time through this conflict. It’s a huge problem. Do I care personally about the Palestinian issue? I don’t, but my people do, so I need to make sure this is meaningful.”

How far they have fallen. In the 1970s King Faisal was spearheading OPECs embargo over Israel's unjust invasions and attacks during the 6 days war, and now to see his successors spitting on the Palestinians is just disgusting.

The successors of King Faisal are the same people who murdered King Faisal for having decent politics.
