Saudi Arabia denies access to its Al Arabiya news site

By David Singer - posted Thursday, 9 January 2025


Shihabi's revolutionary solution in abandoning Saudi foreign policy going back 40 years - could not possibly have been published in Al Arabiya without permission first having been received from MBS.

The other outcomes promised by HKOPS needed an influencer like MBS to underwrite their implementation.

Shihabi broke off contact with me after my article was published and has refused me access to his X page.

The lynch pin of Shihabi's solution – the division of Gaza and Judea and Samaria (West Bank) between Israel and Jordan - the two successor states to the League of Nations 1922 Mandate for Palestine – was eerily similar to the solution I had first proposed in 1980 beginning with this small advertisement:

The Jordan is Palestine Committee grew into an international movement holding conferences in London, New York and Israel – coming to an end only when Israel and the PLO signed the Oslo Accords in 1993.

Jews and Arabs continue to pay a heavy price as the international community ignores a solution which basically boils down to redrawing the international border between Israel and Jordan.
