Rejecting HKOPS sees world unleash a monster

However I could still write optimistically on 3 October:

Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) and Israel's Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu have given their clearest indication to date that current talks between them to normalise relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel could include their reaching agreement on the terms to successfully implement the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (HKOPS).

Jordan, the PLO and Hamas could accept this agreed Israel-Saudi position or choose to maintain the current status quo until amendments acceptable to them are reached.

Importantly – the normalisation of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia would not be contingent on HKOPS or any other agreed Israel-Saudi position first being implemented.

I further observed:

MBS's interview with Bret Baier on Fox News has seen analyst Bilal Saab astutely making the following observations:

"What is a bit curious about the crown prince's words on the Palestinian issue is that he did not specifically tie normalisation with Israel to a two-state solution or to an outcome that gives the Palestinians a state of their own."

The Simchat Torah War has opened up the gates of hell - leading Israel and the world down a horrific path that could have been avoided.
