Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly privately pressed President Trump to guarantee final status talks be held and a Palestinian state established within five years, while pushing back on plans to have Muslim countries form Gaza peacekeeping force.By World Israel News StaffSaudi Arabia is seeking guarantees from the Trump administration that final status negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority will be renewed in the near future, concluding no later than five years from now and culminating in the establishment of a Palestinian state, according to a report published Thursday morning.On Tuesday, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House, where the two discussed Riyadh’s request to purchase dozens of advanced F-35 fighter jets, efforts to reboot nuclear talks with Iran, the administration’s Gaza peace plan, Saudi investment in the United States, a security treaty between the two countries, and Saudi Arabia’s plans to launch a civilian nuclear program.Trump and bin Salman also discussed the possibility of Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Israel as part of the Abraham Accords, with the president pressing the de facto Saudi ruler to publicly commit to a peace deal with Israel without preconditions.During a joint press conference that day, bin Salman said that his country wants “to be part of the Abraham Accords,” but declined to make any firm statement on the possibility of peace with Israel, saying only that Riyadh needs to “secure a clear path [to a] two-state solution.”While publicly bin Salman has been reticent on the issue, in private he laid out specific conditions for establishing formal diplomatic relations with Israel.According to a report by Yedioth Aharonoth‘s Nachum Barnea, bin Salman asked Trump for American guarantees that a Palestinian state be established in no more than five years.Bin Salman reportedly framed the guarantees as a concrete expression of American support for a “pathway” to Palestinian statehood.The administration’s 20-point Gaza peace plan referenced support for an eventual “pathway” to a Palestinian state, but provided no details or timetable.The Saudi prince also used his private meeting with the president to warn him against forming the newly-mandated International Stabilization Force with soldiers from Muslim nations, arguing that Muslim troops would not be willing to confront Hamas if needed.Thus far, the Trump administration has sought moderate Arab and Muslim states to contribute troops to the peacekeeping force, which would be tasked with demilitarizing the Gaza Strip and disarming Hamas.The post Saudis demand US commit to Palestinian statehood in 5 years – report appeared first on World Israel News.
