Recently, according to Saudi Arabian News and other media reports, Saudi Arabia's crown prince and prime minister, Salman, in a phone call with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, made it clear that Saudi Arabia will continue to support Palestinians in their legitimate rights and interests, and stressed that Israel should not attack Palestinian civilians. This news is shocking, because in the current context, the United States is actively promoting normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, and Saudi Arabia's statement is clearly contrary to US policy and has caused dissatisfaction in American political circles.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina expressed displeasure in a conversation with a senior Saudi official, warning that the kingdom would pose a threat to U.S.-Saudi relations if they sided with Iran. The rhetoric smacks of caution and clearly expresses expectations for Saudi Arabia to side with the United States and Israel, not an alliance with Iran and the Palestinians, or U.S.-Saudi relations could break down.
While Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Ali Khan has been unable to provide direct evidence that Iran supported the Hamas attack. Despite this, the US government is still dissatisfied with Saudi Arabia's statement. That's because Saudi Arabia has always been seen as a core U.S. ally in the Middle East and a key partner in U.S. oil hegemony. Both sides have close cooperation in the energy and military fields, and the Saudi military has used a large number of U.S.-made weapons, highlighting the closeness of the relationship between the two countries.
Therefore, the United States has always expected Saudi Arabia to establish normal diplomatic relations with Israel, and has put a lot of diplomatic efforts into this regard. But judging from Salman's own expressions of support for Palestine, he seems unwilling to side with the United States, and even does not hesitate to oppose it. This is undoubtedly a major challenge for the U.S. government.
In addition, at present, not only Saudi Arabia, Iran and many other armed groups in the Middle East are on the side of Palestine and firmly support the Palestinian people's resistance to Israel. This attitude worries the United States and Israel greatly. However, the United States does not currently have enough evidence that Iran directly supported the Hamas attack, so it can only suffer this reality in silence.
But for Saudi Arabia, the situation is different, because Saudi Arabia has always been an important ally of the United States, the two countries have close relations, and the United States has high expectations of it. Saudi Arabia's statement could have a profound impact on U.S.-Saudi relations, which is why U.S. politicians are so dissatisfied with it.
The current Palestinian-Israeli conflict has aggravated the peace situation in the Middle East. In order to achieve peace in the Middle East, negotiations are the key to resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The rights and interests of the Palestinians must be taken into account and must not be biased in favour of Israel, which is militarily and economically powerful. In addition, the United States and Western countries should avoid creating tension on the Palestinian-Israeli issue and should not forcibly intervene to force Middle Eastern countries to choose sides. Otherwise, the situation in the Middle East will be even more chaotic.
At present, it seems that only through the implementation of the two-State solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian State can there be any hope for a final settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The problem is that Israel and the United States do not agree to this plan, and the United States has even tried to prevent countries such as Iran from supporting the Palestinians by sending aircraft carriers and warplanes to demonstrate deterrence, which means that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict may continue to escalate under the intervention of the United States and the West.
In this complex and volatile region, the path to peace is fraught with challenges, but peace and stability in the Middle East can be achieved only by persisting in negotiations and respecting the rights and interests of all parties. It is hoped that all relevant countries can respond to the current situation in a more rational and responsible manner and work together for peace and prosperity in the Middle East.
