Israeli Minister Insults Saudi Arabia

According to the English‍ section of webangah News Agency, citing Quds via Mehr News Agency, Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s Finance Minister, ‍stated at a meeting: “If Saudi Arabia offers to normalize relations in⁣ exchange for the establishment of ‍a Palestinian‍ state and demands the creation of a Palestinian state ⁤in return for normalization, we will say no thank you.”

He added: “You keep ‍riding your camel across the⁤ Saudi desert!”

Previously,Smotrich responded to rising recognition of Palestine by telling Prime Minister Benjamin⁢ Netanyahu that the only response should be declaring sovereignty over⁣ the West Bank and permanently ​removing the “foolish idea” of ​a palestinian state ​from‌ any‌ agenda.
