"Gambling on the losers": a storm after the Saudi prince attacked the Palestinians
Roy Kaise. Oct.6.2020
Following the agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, Saudi Arabia was designated as a state that if Israel succeeds in normalizing its relations with it, it will be a breach of equality with the Arab world. Tonight, Israel may have received a positive message in this direction, in an interview with one of the Saudi princes on the Al-Arabiya network: he attacked the Palestinians for their opposition to agreements between Israel and the Gulf states, implicitly mentioned Abba Eben.

[From the clip of Bandar bin Sultan's 40 min. speech: 'We give them aid, advice, and service...They talk about "back stabbing" and "treason" because this is how they relate amongst themselves...We all remember Yassar Arafat hugging Saddam Hussein (1990) after he's occupied Kuwait. Palestinians didn't pay for what they did to the Gulf Arabs...']
