US-Israeli Christian Leader Discusses Peace Process With Saudi Crown Prince
The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman, hosted Christian Israeli Joel C. Rosenberg this past week. The two met to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. The timing of the meeting came as Riyadh has attempted to increase their efforts reaching out to Christian leaders while seeking to deepen ties with Washington.
Excerpt:
Rosenberg, who has two children currently serving in combat units in the IDF, said he told the future Saudi king about the biblical story of the Queen of Sheba, whom he described as a “powerful woman who ruled a kingdom on the Arabian Peninsula and decided to travel to Jerusalem to forge a friendship and alliance with Solomon, the King of Israel.”
Jerusalem and Riyadh are long known to have clandestine security ties, as both see in Iran an existential threat, but the Gulf kingdom does not formally recognize the State of Israel. Some pro-Israel advocates were hoping that MBS, 34, would be more open to consider diplomatic relations with Israel, but so far he has made no move toward recognition.
