War or peace, it’s Israel’s call says Prince Saud al-Faisal

DAILY TELEGRAPH: The "lords of war" will decide Israel's future if it rejects a blueprint for peace crafted by the entire Arab world, Saudi Arabia's veteran foreign minister warned yesterday.

As leaders began gathering in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, for today's summit of the Arab League, Prince Saud al-Faisal told The Daily Telegraph that the Middle East risks perpetual conflict if the peace plan fails.

Under this Saudi-drafted proposal, every Arab country would formally recognise Israel in return for a withdrawal from all the land captured in the war of 1967.

This would entail a Palestinian state embracing the entire West Bank and Gaza with East Jerusalem as its capital. Every Arab country will almost certainly endorse this blueprint when the Riyadh summit concludes tomorrow. Prince Saud said Israel should accept or reject this final offer.

The Saudis as peace brokers? That's the fox watching the henhouse! But read the msm and you'll find raves over Saudi's role. Ugh!

And just how do the Saudis propose to deliver upon this promise. A hudna indeed. Islam as a whole has lost the plot if it thinks we will buy this crap. Speaking of crap, the real truth of the matter is swilling around the streets of Gaza as talk among ourselves. The reality of all those millions squandered in aid to the Palestinians, revealed in all its putrid worth.
