Wary Saudis silent as Trump's Israel position takes shape
December 19, 2016 | http://www.al-monitor.com/By Bruce Riedel
In December 1967, Saudi King Faisal bin
Abdul-Aziz Al Saud added a new responsibility to his younger brother
Prince Salman's duties as the governor of Riyadh: raise funds to support
Palestinians resisting the Israeli takeover of Jerusalem. The funding
was part of a broader change in Saudi foreign policy 50 years ago that
put the kingdom on a collision course with the United States. Changes in
American policy toward Jerusalem could do it again.
Summary⎙ Print
US President-elect Donald Trump's choice for ambassador to Israel is a
sign that he still intends to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel
Aviv, a major shakeup in American policy if the plan is followed
through.
