Question

Why a peace agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia seems closer than ever?

Will there be agreement or not? It is an issue that is on the minds of many people in the Middle East now.

Are Saudi Arabia's rulers, historically critical of Israel and its treatment of Palestinians, finally getting closer to normalizing relations with the country, often referred to in the past by the Arab media with disdain as "the Zionist entity"?

What sparked strong speculation on social media was the set of hard-hitting interviews given to Al-Arabiya TV by the former Saudi intelligence chief and longtime Washington ambassador, Prince Bandar Bin Sultan al-Saud, who criticized Palestinian leaders for disapproving the recent peace movements with Israel by Arab Gulf states.

"This low level of speech is not what we expect from officials looking to gain global support for their cause," Prince Bandar said in the interview. "Their transgression (Palestinian leaders) against the leadership of the Gulf States with this damning speech is totally unacceptable."
Prince Bandar, who spent a remarkable 22 years as Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington and was so close to former US President George W. Bush that he used to be nicknamed Bandar Bin Bush, spoke of the "historical failures" of Palestinian leadership. He took Saudi support for granted, he said.

Although he has made a point of calling the Palestinian cause "just", he also blamed the leaders of Israel and Palestine for failing to reach a peace agreement after so many years.

How, he always argued, referring to the split between the Palestinian Authority, which rules in the West Bank, and the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas, which holds power in Gaza, Palestinians can reach a fair deal when their leaders can't even agree each other?
Choosing Prince Bandar, a veteran diplomat and longtime pillar of the Saudi royal establishment to say so, said the official, was the clearest sign that the Saudi leadership may be preparing its people for an eventual deal with Israel.

For many years, especially in the most rural and isolated areas of the kingdom, the Saudis have become accustomed to seeing not only Israel as the enemy, but also the entire Jewish people.
I remember a village in the mountains of Asir province, where a Saudi told me very seriously that "on one day of the year Jews drink baby blood".
Thanks to the internet and satellite TV, this type of conspiracy theory is more rare in the kingdom now. Saudis spend a lot of time online and are generally better informed about world affairs than people in the West. When is it over?

However, given the xenophobia and historical suspicion of outsiders that exist among certain parts of the Saudi population, it will take time to reverse this type of idea, which is why Saudi Arabia has not been in a hurry to follow its Gulf neighbors to sign a historic agreement.
