Can the US, Saudi Arabia Defence Pact Bring an End to the War in Gaza? | Vantage

The US and Saudi Arabia are nearing a defence agreement that could potentially reshape West Asia by bringing Israel and Saudi Arabia closer together. As per the pact, Riyadh will get US military protection and in return, the kingdom will engage with Israel for a potential normalisation of ties. The negotiations are a revival of talks that began last year but stalled after Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel. Talks resumed in January this year and both sides have made significant progress, but a key sticking point remains. Saudi Arabia wants Israel to agree to a ceasefire in Gaza and commit to a path for Palestinian statehood. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly rejected this demand, making it difficult for the deal to proceed. The US is pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu by offering him a stark choice: join the deal and gain a powerful ally and economic benefits, or be left out and lose these advantages. What will be Israel’s response? What consequences will such a deal have for West Asia and the world at large? Palki Sharma tells you more.

Saudi Arabia is not going to defuse its growing relations with China for American deal. For this very reason, it has joined BRICS. The Gulf countries are playing balancing role in changing global geoeconomics and geopolitics.

India’s @FirstPost reported very smugly said that “India gave Elon a lifeline” Then said “Tesla needs India more than India needs Tesla!” I guess that didn’t turn out to be a reality.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A defense pact with the US is meant only for war with another nation, not Peace. So do not assume, just ask the US and they will tell you that their defense pacts are meant to prep you for war, in this case a war with Iran. India's pacts with the US are to prep India for a war with China. Just ask the US

Despite all the negotiations and normalization processes that took place between Arab countries, including the Palestinian Authority and Israel, and coordination in more than one area between many countries, organizations and factions that publicly insult Israel and secretly cooperate with it, the Saudi position has remained principled and consistent.

[peerjavid]

Sudi Arabia is not the part arab we called them by the name of najadi because they are not completely muslims

[fuadaladawi]

Two state solutions first, than recognising.
