Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide” in some of the harshest public criticism of the country by a Saudi official since the start of the war.
It’s not inconceivable. The issue is that what is in the interest of nations and what is in the interest of the nation’s decision-makers often diverge - and in the case of Trump and Netanyahu, diverge quite starkly.
This entire atrocity is nothing but a disaster for the entire region, Israel included, but it benefits a few Israeli decision-makers, so it goes forward.
Trumps interests will converge to anyone who gives him enough money. There is a big question now if Russian/Saudi money will be enough to get rid of the AIPAC money he would be getting.
