Thomas Friedman, chief commentator for the New York Times, who is close to US President Joe Biden, the latter, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, warned against pushing for an agreement to normalize relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and to announce their rejection of the proposed deal.

Friedman said in an article in the American newspaper, addressing Biden and Bin Salman: "Do not let Netanyahu turn you into his useful idiots... It is impossible to normalize with an abnormal Israeli government... and it will never be a stable ally of the United States or a partner of Saudi Arabia."He added: Netanyahu will not make any concessions to the Palestinians, and therefore the United States and Saudi Arabia should demand real measures such as transferring part of Area C to the Palestinians, freezing construction in the settlements, and stopping the legalization of settlement outposts and the establishment of other outposts, and that the goal of this deal is that a solution must be implemented. two states later.

And he continued: Insisting on such conditions will lead to the disintegration of the Netanyahu government, which is led by a group of racist extremist Yemeni Jews, whose likes have not enjoyed security authorities in Israel before, and this will put the Israeli public before the choice: “annexation or normalization”, with the most important Islamic country, Which is the gateway to other large Islamic countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia.

He referred to the meeting that brought together the Israeli ambassador to Romania with the leader of the far-right party in Bucharest, at the behest of Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, and with the participation of the settler leader in the West Bank, Yossi Dagan, noting that Israel boycotted this right-wing party for many years because of its denial of the Holocaust and others.

And that this meeting was held against the background of Dagan's attempts to strengthen Israel's relations with the extreme right-wing European parties in order to convince them to support the settlements in the West Bank.

"Netanyahu and his allies are trying to build an alternative to US diplomatic support with xenophobic and extremist parties in Europe that don't care about the settlements," Friedman says.

He believed that the role currently required of American diplomats, the American army, and Jewish organizations in the United States is to save Israel from the internal Jewish threat that is evident in the Netanyahu government, considering that the current government is no longer a reliable ally for the United States.

He warned of the potential deal getting out of control, through which Netanyahu seeks not to make any concessions to the Palestinians and tries to exploit them to annex the West Bank and fulfill the dream of his allies.

He said: This Israeli ruling coalition must be stopped, and more importantly, this bad deal that could enable Netanyahu to crush the Israeli Supreme Court, win normalization with Saudi Arabia, and pay a small price for the Palestinians, so that the right-wing extremists in his government can continue to push Israel to what is Further, to the abyss.

He added: It must stop. This is not a deal that Biden should be part of his legacy, and it is not a deal that would form a stable basis for the Saudi-Israeli strategic partnership.

He continued: “No” should be said to this deal, and to do otherwise would be a shame.
