Saudi Arabia: “Without Negotiations, Israel Will Be Annihilated”
“Israel must realize that a peace treaty is its only chance for survival,” the Saudi foreign minister said in an unusual statement today while negotiations to consolidate a platform for a cease-fire continue in Cairo.
He also leveled grave criticism at the operation in Gaza and claimed that Israel was committing terrorism and disregarding international law.

via Israel News – Saudi Arabia: “Without Negotiations, Israel Will Be Annihilated” – JerusalemOnline.
Against the backdrop of the relative silence that Saudi Arabia displayed during Operation Protective Edge, the regional power sent a message to Israel that it had to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians if it wished to survive as a nation.
In remarks that he made at a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal leveled sharp criticism at the internal conflicts within the Arab world and called to halt Israel’s “Jewish offensive” against its Arab neighbors, as he put it.
“Israel has to realize that peace is the only solution for its survival,” said the Saudi foreign minister. “As we see, Israel does not shy away from taking its terror to any level, with total disregard to any laws, rules, religious edicts or humanitarian considerations to achieve its goals. Its only objective is to uproot the Palestinian existence wherever it is.”
Al-Faisal spoke at a meeting in the Saudi city of Jedda, with inter alia Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and 55 other representatives of Muslim countries participating.
Saudi Arabia sees itself as the leader of the Sunni Muslim world, but it generally acts behinds the scenes. The foreign minister’s statement was an unusual remark for Saudi diplomacy. Reuters News Agency, which quoted the statement, emphasized that the authorities in Riyadh do not trust the Hamas regime and even consider it a terrorist organization due to its affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood sect.
The London-based international Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat had earlier published remarks that sounded slightly more refined, declaring that there was no longer an Arab-Israeli conflict but an Iranian-Turkish-Israeli conflict. “If Israel wants to make a grand deal with the Arabs, now is the time,” it wrote.
