Trump's Middle East advisor: Normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel is a top priority
During a television interview with the American Fox News channel, Waltz stressed that the time has come to conclude a new agreement that achieves stability in the Middle East region, adding, "I think that the time has come to conclude an agreement that achieves stability in the Middle East and does not allow the events of October 7 to be repeated again."
Waltz touched on the “Abraham Accords,” which revolve around the normalization agreements between Bahrain, the UAE, and Israel that were concluded in 2020, as an example of the agreement that Washington is seeking to conclude with Saudi Arabia.
Waltz explained that the normalization agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel will be the new phase of the “Abraham” Accords, stressing that this agreement would bring about a radical change in the Middle East, commenting, “I think that Iran incited Hamas to thwart that step.”
Waltz stressed that US President-elect Donald Trump's position on Iran is not to allow it to possess nuclear weapons, stressing that "all options are available and on the table."

Blinken: Normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia requires a path to establishing a Palestinian state
* The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the one that will grant the Zionist entity its legitimacy, and without the Kingdom’s recognition, there will be no peace in the region..
The condition of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is clear and there is no discussion about it. “The establishment of a Palestinian state” is the most important clause for normalization to take place, and otherwise it is empty talk.
** The best thing that happened with Trump’s return (which is certainly a double-edged sword for all countries) is that there remained a person stronger than Netanyahu who is influential and a maker of American decision-making, especially regarding the Middle East... At the time of Biden, you felt that the entire administration was subservient to the Israeli decision, despite the differences that were there. It may be said, but all the articles you read in the Israeli media show you to the point that Netanyahu was subjugated and insulted in a very brutal way in this file by Trump, to the point that he... He refused to meet with Trump's envoy on Saturday, which is a holy day for the Jews and there is no work on it, but he was forced to meet with Trump's envoy, and by what he told them: I am not interested in it being Saturday or Sunday, I will come tomorrow.. and he also said the message in dictation and without waiting for any responses. Before that, Trump was quoting Sachs's words about Netanyahu. Who describes him as a son of a bitch, and behind the scenes he threatened that he would not receive him on inauguration day... By the way, it is true that Trump has such a high priority on the Saudi file that he actually... The news says that he is willing to sacrifice Netanyahu in order to complete this file, especially since the Saudis have shown discomfort with the normalization step in the presence of Netanyahu and his extremist right wing government.

So Trump is not the “King of Jerusalem” the zionist hold him for?
Could there be a possibility that Trump is a inside job to destroy the Zio-US militairy complex?
Because Trump grew up in New York in the propertysector and worked with jews his whole life. He knows what kind of son of a bitches they are. He know them very well.
Because all the leftwing and jewish mass media are hating Trump, before and after his presidency. Especially between 2020 and 2024 they mocked and terrorized him with the scandals and courts and claims.
I still think they will assasinate him on inaguration day.

It is about high time that KSA develops nuclear energy and in my eyes one of the most important strategic things that KSA could and should do. In particular given the domestic uranium reserves, the massive energy needs and massive developments of all fronts. Eventually reaching the stage where you will always be able to develop nuclear weapons if needed within a relatively short amount of time.

- Technology makes industrial-scale lithium extraction possible, KAUST finds
- Lithium essential for batteries in electric vehicles, computers, smartphones
In a news release posted on its website recently, KAUST said the “innovative technology,” which involves the direct extraction of lithium from brine in oilfields and seawater, is described in a study published in the latest issue of the journal Science.
Lithium is an essential metal for the production of batteries now widely used for electric vehicles, computers and smartphones. Global demand for lithium is expected to increase to more than 5 million tonnes in 2030 from about 750,000 tonnes in 2020, according to KAUST.
Lithium is said to be present in oilfields and seawater but at low concentrations and difficult to extract in useful quantities.
But the KAUST research team led by Prof. Zhiping Lai said the new technology makes extraction possible on an industrial scale.
“Accessing lithium in brine can expand the availability of lithium worldwide by several hundreds of billions of (tonnes) and may transition Saudi Arabia from a major importer to producer of this highly sought-after element,” Lai explained in the study.
The method also achieves extraction without introducing any pollutants or additives, he said.
Saudi Arabia is thought to have plenty of sources rich in lithium in its surrounding seas and oil fields, considering that brine and seawater are estimated to contain over 10,000 times more lithium than conventional lithium reserves.
Lihytech, a KAUST startup founded by Lai and his colleague Prof. Kuo-Wei (Andy) Huang, who also contributed to the study, aims to bring the technology from laboratory to market, the university stated.
The startup has received an initial investment of $6 million from the Saudi mining company Ma’aden and the KAUST Innovation Fund.
Lihytech and Aramco announced last year a partnership in which the international conglomerate is providing brine from its oilfields to test the technology’s lithium-extraction capabilities.

Genocider of Sunni arabs wants to sign love-u-bro agreement with Saud.

There is no genocide. 47.000 deaths is not "genocide" in 16 months of war. In the past 16 months the population of Gaza has increased. Sunni Arabs number almost 500 million people. By 2050 that number will be 850 million.
Nor is it any love letter, just pure and simple geopolitics. KSA has nothing to do with that conflict.
Besides Israel itself is an Arab country (20-25 of the population is outright Muslim Arab) and 2/3 of all Israeli Jews are Arab Jews.
I consider it a civil war between two cousins/siblings and even more so when Judaism is the closest religion to Islam.
KSA should follow its own interests.
Let Iran bay for the rebuilding of Gaza. It was probably Iran that ordered/encouraged the attack due to fears of KSA normalizing with Israel and in turn Iran lost the entire Middle East (Syria, Southern Lebanon, Gaza) and now have nothing to show for it. This is why many Gazans and Southern Lebanese are cursing Iran.

Why are you defending Netanyahu/Israeli state sponsored genocide by saying this is not a genocide? You've not read reports of so many kids and women being massacred and maimed, hospitals and schools being wiped out, refugee camps being bombed after advising civilians to hide there? Have a little bit of dignity, I'm Iranian, you should be 10x more eager to stand up against this genocide or massacre if you deny it's a genocide.

Because Israel's actions constitute war crimes and crimes of aggression as per international law. It does not qualify as genocide as per international law experts. Genocide occurred in Rwanda and Cambodia. Genocide would be the systematic mass-killings of Gazans with the intent to permanently erase them. If 47.000 people have died out of a population almost approaching 3 million that cannot be considered "genocide" as in the legal term as described by the ICC, ICJ, Geneva Convention etc.
I am not surprised, those people have been killing each other since 1948 due to land. It has nothing to do with KSA. It is sad but I am tired of hearing about that conflict and it gets far too much media time. What is going on in Sudan for instance is worse but nobody cares/mentions it in the media.
Besides I consider Israel to be a mostly Arab ethnic country. 20-25% of the Israelis are Palestinian Arabs, Arab Druze, Arab Bedouins and 2/3 of all Israeli Jews are Arab Jews. That is why so many of the IDF soldiers and Hamas fighters look alike.
Israel is going nowhere nor the 6-8 million Jews and I believe that it does not serve KSA at all to be hostile to Israel. Instead I believe that we could cooperate.
Israel/Jews have never hurt KSA or Saudi Arabians. I have nothing against Jews either, in particular Arab Jews. Part of our social fabric and part of the region. Even the Eastern European Jews have been proven to have at least 50% Middle Eastern DNA often. If not hostile, I have nothing against them.
I have nothing against Iranians either or anyone for that matter. As long as you are not hostile, I am fine with you whether you are a Papuan, Surinamese, Eritrean, Lithuanian, Tajik, Chadian, Inuit etc.
KSA should focus on internal projects and on growing on all fronts as is the case under MbS and leave the idiots to fight/start wars.

Saudi Arabia aspire to transfer the best American technologies and cooperate with the USA in complex fields..
The Kingdom has a clear orientation towards industry and the US is undisputed best technology partner..
Also KSA needs around 20 modern American third-generation nuclear plants with enrichment technology and the full nuclear cycle, with the aim of meeting the nation’s needs for electrical energy and enhancing its ability to export electricity to neighboring countries, and thus to Africa and Europe in the future.
Thus, KSA can dispense with some of the 80 traditional stations that consume about 4 million barrels per day. It also need to establish nuclear plants specialized in water desalination, hydrogen production, providing industrial heat for factories and other uses.
KSA possesses abundant reserves of uranium, which ensures that it does not need to buy uranium from any party.
U.S. nuclear power plants are already among the safest and most secure industrial facilities in the world due to the industry’s commitment to comprehensive safety procedures, robust training programs and stringent federal regulation that keep nuclear plants and neighboring communities safe.
Nuclear power plants are designed, built, and operated using a “defense-in-depth” approach in which multiple independent and redundant layers of protection are always in place to ensure safe operation, even in the event something goes wrong.

In the era of Trump, we are facing many things that will be strengthened
More economically, especially in arms deals.
There may be important contracts that will return to the table from
Nuclear technology transfer, F-35 fighters and enhancement of the Saudi naval forces as well as electronic chips and much more because of this investment!
