Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has been telling US lawmakers that he is at risk of assassination due to his pursuit of a normalization agreement with the occupation state of Israel and the United States, drawing parallels to Egypt’s Anwar Sadat, who was assassinated after normalizing ties with Israel, according to the Politico.
MBS has reportedly emphasized that any agreement must include a credible path to Palestinian statehood, a demand he argues is crucial for regional stability and his own survival. He has pointed out that without addressing the Palestinian issue, the proposed benefits of the deal—such as security guarantees and economic investments—would be compromised according to the Quds News Network.
The ongoing genocide in Gaza has heightened Arab outrage against Israel, making the Palestinian cause even more central to MBS’s concerns.
Despite this, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right government remain opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state, complicating the path to a deal.
