    Anyone who wants peace in the Near East as there’s no way around the Saudis and their influence. They’re a diplomatic heavyweight in general: Within the Arab world by tribal whatnot, elsewhere mostly fuelled by oil.

      Israel has been there for decades without being at war with Palestine and there was no peace.

      I don’t know what they have been doing with their influence to this point then.

        Israel is founded on the Nakba. There hasn’t been a single day of peace since religious Zionists appeared in the region (the whole thing would’ve been possible with only Labour Zionists) which is no surprise as religious Zionists are fascists and fascists love their purified ethno-states and eternal wars.

        My solution? One-state. Let all the Palestinians into Israel, with full citizenship, all of them (see right of return), tear down the walls in the west bank, deport Hamas and Kahanites into Gaza where they can fight it out to their heart’s content without bothering anyone else. Quadruple the height of the wall. They’re all criminals an open-air prison is adequate. Also put corrupt politicians there, especially corrupt prime ministers.
