TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC)-Turning a blind eye to Israel’s theft of Palestinian lands, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is “cozying up” to the regime, hoping for Tel Aviv to help him advance his goals, a political analyst tells Press TV.
In a major shift in Saudi Arabia’s official stance on the Palestinian cause against Israel’s occupation, bin Salman recognized the “right” for Israelis to “have their own land” in an interview with US magazine The Atlantic published on Monday.
Bin Salman also said he had no “religious objection” to Israelis living alongside Palestinians, so long as the Al-Aqsa mosque compound – the main Muslim holy site in Jerusalem al-Quds -- is protected.
Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader also extolled the prospect of future diplomatic relations with the regime in Israel.
