Sullivan to meet MBS to push Saudi side of Israel mega-deal

Story by Barak Ravid Axios World April 1, 2024

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan will travel to Saudi Arabia Tuesday to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about a potential mega-deal that would include Saudi normalization with Israel.

Why it matters: With the war in Gaza ongoing and the U.S. presidential election just seven months away, White House officials admit there’s a slim chance they can pull off the historic peace agreement. Sullivan’s trip shows President Biden is still determined to pursue it.

Behind the scenes: The White House continues to work toward a draft U.S.-Saudi defense treaty and understandings related to U.S. support for a Saudi civilian nuclear program, according to four U.S. and Israeli officials. U.S. officials hope to reach a bilateral agreement with the Saudis and then possibly present it to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose side of the deal would include committing to a path toward a two-state solution.

Netanyahu would then face a choice: If he agrees, he could broke a historic peace deal with Saudi Arabia. If he says no, he could be exposed as a rejectionist and lose whatever U.S. support he still has left.

Daniel 9:26-27 And after threescore (7) and two weeks shall Messiah be cut (7) off, but not for himself: and the (7) people of the prince that shall come (7) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and (7) the end thereof shall be with a (7) flood, and unto the end of the (7) war desolations are determined. And he shall (7) confirm the covenant with many for one (7) week: and in the midst of the (7) week he shall cause the sacrifice and (7) the oblation to cease, and for the (7) overspreading of abominations he shall make it (7) desolate, even until the consummation, and that (7) determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

(7777777) + (7777777) = 14×7. Seven (‘7’) is God’s Divine Number denoting His ‘PERFECT COMPLETION OF HIS PLAN OR PURPOSE FOR A THING.’ Seven (‘7’) also denotes God’s (7) Divine Number for His ‘TRUTH OR TRUTHFULLNESS’.

Isaiah 28:14-19  Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

The White House declined to comment. The Saudi embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.

What they’re saying: “There has been lot of progress in the talks between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia about their draft defense treaty. They want to have their side of the deal ready and then put it on our table and say, ‘Take it or leave it,” a senior Israeli official told Axios.

Zoom in: Last week, Biden made clear he still thinks the Saudi mega-deal is achievable and relevant, despite talks being derailed by Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack and Israel’s military operation in Gaza.

“I won’t go into detail now. But look, I’ve been working with the Saudis. … They are prepared to fully recognize Israel,” Biden said at a fundraiser in New York with former Presidents Obama and Clinton last week.

“But … there has to be a post-Gaza plan here, and there has to be a train to a two-state solution. Doesn’t have to occur today, but it has a progression. I think we can do that,” Biden mused.

State of play: Sullivan will travel to Saudi Arabia with White House Middle East czar Brett McGurk, who has been negotiating the defense treaty, and senior energy adviser Amos Hochstein, who has been negotiating the nuclear understandings. Reality check: Many in the White House think the Saudi mega-deal is a pipe dream, citing the war in Gaza, Netanyahu’s dependence on his radical right-wing coalition partners, and U.S. domestic politics. The Saudis have made clear that in order to move forward on normalization with Israel, the war in Gaza must end and the Israeli government must commit to an irreversible path for a two-state solution.

Netanyahu doesn’t seem to be moving toward ending the war. And he not only opposes a two-state solution, but rejects the mere idea of allowing the Palestinian Authority to have a role in governing Gaza on the day after the war. What to watch: Even if a deal is reached, the Senate will have to ratify the defense treaty with Saudi Arabia and possibly the nuclear understandings. This will be close to impossible in the current political climate in Washington. It’s unclear if enough Democrats will support a deal that will be seen as a win for both MBS and Netanyahu.

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess (7) with your heart and with your lips (7) that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:9, 14-15).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

. . . “But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).
