Mohammed Alyahya is a senior fellow at the Harvard Belfer Center’s Middle East Initiative and a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute’s Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East.makes abundantly clear that there can be no lasting peace in the Middle East without a regional solution to the long-running conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.There are two paths forward.
Twenty-one years is a long time, and realities on the ground today might make provisions such as a return to pre-1967 borders seem dated. But Saudi officials remain convinced that the API isfrom which good-faith negotiations can proceed. A just final settlement will not be easy or obvious. But it is within reach.with Fox News’s Bret Baier, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reiterated his country’s commitment to easing the life of Palestinians through negotiations for normalization.
In response to these allegations, one senior Saudi official told me in frustration on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly that he finds it mind-boggling that Israelis can’t seem to understand that it is fundamentally in their interest to seek a credible framework for negotiations that could deliver lasting peace.
It is now up to the Israelis whether to engage in a credible peace process that will end the tragic cycle of violence, including the war we are watching play out today. Those rejoicing at the death of civilians and the inhumane treatment of prisoners must not be allowed to set the agenda for the future of the region.
