On August 31, an Israeli El Al aircraft first flew over Saudi Arabia to the United Arab Emirates with an American-Israeli delegation headed by Kushner to point out that Abu Dhabi and Jerusalem agreed to formalize their secret relations for a long time.
The plane flew over Riyadh and then took a circular direction along the northern border of Oman, before landing in the Emirati capital. The same plane made the journey back, back through Saudi airspace, say so, this time without the Americans on board.
The United Arab Emirates and Israel are expected to signal the agreement negotiated through the United States, Israel’s first with a Gulf country, and the third with an Arab state, at the White House on September 15.
U. S. and Israeli officials have said that other Arab states will possibly stick to the U. S. Emirates’ initiative to normalize relations with Israel.
However, the king of Bahrain told Kushner, who leads the normalization campaign, that Manama will only register in Saudi Arabia in concert. The crown prince of Riyadh told Kushner that a peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians will have to precede any normalization, in accordance with the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative.
Speaking Wednesday, Kushner said Arab and Saudi patience with the Palestinians could simply run out.
“King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are very attached to the Palestinian cause. They would like to see the paintings of the Palestinians and the lives of their people,” Kushner said.
“But again, they will do whatever is of interest to Saudi Arabia, the other Saudis and Muslims around the world, because they take this duty very seriously,” Kushner said. you know, they need to, but I’ll say a lot of other people are losing patience with The Palestinian leaders.
This was also highlighted on Wednesday when the Arab League failed to approve a proposed solution through the Palestinian Authority that would have condemned the standardization agreement.
Kushner said the Arab League’s position is another sign that the Middle East is becoming and that “countries are now doing what is best for them. “
“Countries are Palestinians. The United States is the Palestinians. But other people need to see a solution that is fair and adequate, but they’re not going to slow down their own progress now to allow this crash to continue to stagnant in the mud. “”He said.
Kushner, who is also the eldder of U. S. President Donald Trump, said Tuesday’s signing rite at the White House would be a bipartisan event.
“We’ll invite Democrats and Republicans to be here,” Kushner said. “This [agreement] has been welcomed by others on both sides of the aisle, and I hope it’s a factor that can stay out of politics. “
