AL JAZEERA NEWS recently reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has pulled support from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for his failure to accept Israel’s various offers for peace over the years.
The question is: what’s the reason for the Crown Prince’s stated position?
Is this just one of the several new positions already staked out by bin Salman, positions designed to show new directions of the Saudi government?
Does this reflect bin Salman’s apparent friendship with Jared Kushner?
Is this an attempt by bin Salman to gain favor with the US government? Is this part of the reason for the US continuing to support the Saudi war against Yemen?
Are the new moves by bin Salman indicative of a real shift in Saudi policy?
One thing is clear: young Mohammed bin Salman warrants careful watching in the Middle East.
