Peloni: In Amit Segal’s article below, he explains that Trump is using the extension of the Abraham Accords as the means by which to restrain Netanyahu in the region, much as tethering Israel to the UAE did in the first round of the AA. While such an event would give Netanyahu the political capital to possibly survive what is coming in the form of faux peace deals with Lebanon, Gaza and Iran, it leaves a very big question mark as to whether the Arabs would actually acquiesce to accepting such a demand by Trump. Already, MBS has announced his fallback line of requiring a second Pal state, a line in the sand which the other Arab states will no doubt support. This will raise the specter of the revival of the latest iteration of the American imposed gambit of the Two State Solution, the foundation for which is already baked into the UNSC Resolution 2803. In the post October 7 period, such a venture lacks all viability in Israel, but that would require having a leader with both the temerity and the strength to stand up to the Americans and to simply refuse such an outcome. Alternatively, we could recognize the reality that a Pal state was created with the formation of the state of Transjordan, now renamed Jordan, a reality around which would provide a more stable future for the entire region than in succumbing to the demand of creating a second Pal state from the heartlands of the Jewish State. The Jordan Option is the better path forward.
The bill for American action has arrived at the Saudi door. Last night, Donald Trump reportedly demanded that in exchange for finalizing the current ceasefire deal with Iran—the one desperately needed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz—the Gulf states would have to pay a massive… pic.twitter.com/iQYzQzQHqw

How can it restrain Israel unless it happens, which it never will?
“A group of interfaith religious leaders were getting a tour around the Jerusalem Zoo by its administrator, Shmuel Shapira. Shmuel showed them one cage where a lion was lying together with a young lamb.
The head of the delegation was amazed. “For 2000 years, we’ve prayed for signs of the messianic era and the prophesy that the lion will lie down next to the lamb. How did you do it?”
“It was quite easy,” Shmuel replied, “All it needs is a new lamb a day!”‘

Bad news…
Here’s my response:
Israel doesn’t need to be saved by Trump “from itself” à la Secretary of State John Kerry, as appears in the above article; and the Saudis, as usual, are totally just looking out for the Saudis…willing to see Hebrew blood and fortune expended rather then their own to fight the fight against the Shi’a Iranian bogeyman.
The desert kingdom’s Wahhabi Salafi partners are the worse antisemites to be found in the region, regardless of MBS’s alleged moderation…

It’s no shock that they’re still insisting that Israel remain à 9-15 mile wide sardine can of a nation and renounce any sovereign rights at all in 4,000 year old ancestral Jewish homeland in Judaea—where the very name “Jew” originates from—and Samaria, while creating a SECOND, not first, state for Arabs in the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine…Jordan created via a gift to ARABISM by imperial Great Britain by lopping off almost EIGHTY percent of the total area in 1922.
Note that this would be almost two dozen states for Arabism, while scores of millions of its conquered, colonized, and settled victims in the region remain persecuted, oppressed, forcibly Arabized, and stateless because of its deadly supremacist, expansionist, jihadi actions from the 7th century C.E. until this very day.
The article reports on something which simply cannot be allowed at the end of this war: the existence of the IRGC in any manifestation.
My own upcoming analysis deals with this issue in depth.
The entire regime must be destroyed and replaced by democratic institutions and leaders whom America will support and nurture, again to be seen in my newest analysis.
Another thought about the Saudi demand for a second state for Arabs in the ancestral homeland of the Jewish People::
Firstly, in international law, an indigenous population doesn’t forfeit historic rights because it’s land was invaded by different powerful empires over the millennia, leading also to forced exiles.
So, at very minimum, Israel must have in Judaea and Samaria the territorial compromise built into UNSC Resolution 242….which means the days of the 1948 Auschwitz/Armistice lines mud go the way of the DoDo Bird.
Since MBS still insists on Arab domination in Jewish ancestral lands, consider the following as well:
The second holiest city in Islam was founded by Judaeans fleeing their mcountry’s wars against Roman invaders.
Yathrib, renamed Medina, was first cultivated as a date palm oasis long before Muhammad’s both.
The Jews gave sanctuary to him when he fled his own Quraysh tribe in Mecca over some dispute.
Read here for this important information, and then ask why Jews should not be allowed to lay claim to Medina, using MBS’s reasoning…or to parts of southern Arabia e where a series of Jewish kings reined in what’s now Yemen:
