The fallout continues: Netenyahu’s recent comments on a Palestinian state on Saudi land have angered state media, with the Financial Times highlighting the “unusually hostile barrage” from local news and editorials directed at the Israeli Prime Minister. State-backed media outlets — including Al Arabiya and Al Ekhbariya — have piled on the tirades, pointing to increasing frustration among the Saudi leadership with Netanyahu.

REMEMBER- Netanyahu hinted in an interview that Saudi could take in displaced Palestinians, adding he “would not make an agreement that would endanger the State of Israel.” Saudi officials have consistently maintained that normalization with Israel is conditional on a credible pathway towards establishing Palestinian statehood.
