🇸🇦🇮🇱 Saudi Arabia wants Netanyahu out before normalization – reports “Saudi Arabia wants peace, negotiations, and for the Israeli-Palestinian issue to be closed via a two-state solution. But Netanyahu is not there,” a source told Israel’s KAN broadcaster amid the ongoing political deadlock in Israel following elections in late October. The problem is policy, not personality, the source said. 🔊“[Riyadh] has no interest in the identity of the prime minister of Israel…Netanyahu, in our view, only wants to cause problems. He does not want peace; he wants escalation. As long as Netanyahu is in power with the current government, normalization is not on the agenda.” This is the second time in a year that anonymous Saudi sources have told Israeli media Netanyahu needs to go. Last month, Netanyahu made a security presentation labeling Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan as members of a “Sunni Diamond Alliance,” standing in opposition to Iran’s Axis of Resistance, and to an Israel-UAE “Hexagon Alliance.” Riyadh’s semi-public denunciation comes amid reports that the IDF has been feeding the kingdom “exceptional” intelligence against the Houthis in Yemen, notwithstanding MSB’s rejection of direct Israeli military assistance against the Yemeni fighters. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
