The aspiration of the Palestinian people of having their own country visibly now is clinically dead. As I pointed in my previous article, the leadership crisis in Palestine is responsible for their gradual losing of the battle, has been echoed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman [MBS]. He told Al Jazeera: "in the last several decades the Palestinian leadership has missed one opportunity after the other and rejected all the peace proposals it was given.
"It is about time the Palestinians take the proposal [accept a Palestine excluding Jerusalem] and to come to the negotiations table or shut up and stop complaining ".
MBS must be talking about the peace proposal advocated by President Donald Trump and his administration. Under this policy, most definitely Trump is not going to give even a small stake of Jerusalem to the Palestinians. Because he already has recognized Jerusalem as the undivided and eternal capital of the Jewish Statel. He has shifted the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. Meaning, Israel has been accorded the exclusive right over Jerusalem.
Western powers are very successfully using MBS as their most trusted ally. by scaring him with Iran phobia.
MBS knows, Iran may attack Saudi Arabia, oust the royals - if the West stops showing interest in the Middle East. To the Saudi rulers, - US and the West are their protectors- if not custodians. The latest policy of MBS on the Palestine issue clearly signals - anti Israel Muslim nations [expect Iran] may onwards face pressure from Washington via Riyadh in abandoning their anti Israel rhetoric and recognize the Jewish state thus actually puling of the Palestine issue from the shelves.
All on a sudden, especially after President Donald Trump entered the White House, American influence in Asia has been greatly increasing. This is clear in the case of Korean crisis, Palestine-Israel crisis, and even the Middle East crisis. To expedite this trend of increasing influence, Washington sees Tehran in particular as a potential rival. Whatever may the Iranian rulers think, United States will continue its pressure on Iran until they succeed in establishing dominance.
Before the 2019 Presidential Election, Iran is another important feather in the cap of Donald Trump. Undoubtedly, Trump will get billions of dollar from Saudis and other Arab nations once he decides to attack Iran. The next war in that part of the world most possibly will begin by the coming fall. Iranian rulers really can't sustain a real American offensive. Most possibly this is the last year of their era.
