Saudi FM: Trump can broker Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, and we’ll help
Saudi Arabia is confident in US President Donald Trump’s abilities to conclude a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians and Riyadh is prepared to help, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said on Saturday evening, during a press conference with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Jubeir spoke of the “kingdom’s optimism that President Trump, with a new approach and determination, can bring a conclusion to this long conflict. He certainly has the vision, and we believe he has the strength and the decisiveness. And the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stands prepared to work with the United States in order to bring about peace between Israelis and Palestinians and Israelis and Arabs.”
The Saudi FM said he was speaking on behalf of the king following an earlier meeting between the US President and the Saudi monarch.
Jubeir said Saudi Arabia stresses the “importance of working toward peace between Israelis and Palestinians.”
This will be interesting to see - the pre-1967 borders should not be on the table. The Saudi's have previously been supporting "Palestine" - it will be interesting if they switch sides here.
