Saudi's Bin Salman talks about megacity project in South Sinai, 'triangle of evil' during Egypt visit

[AlAhram] Egypt and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
have signed an agreement allotting 1,000 square kilometres of land in South Sinai for a megacity project as part of the kingdom’s mammoth NEOM project, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman said on Monday evening during a meeting with several Egyptian media figures in Cairo.

Prominent Egyptian TV presenter Lamis El-Hadeedi said on the privately owned CBC satellite channel that Bin Salman spoke about "everything," answering questions on democracy and reforms in the kingdom, NEOM, Jerusalem, Israel and Qatar

#6 All of this Land in Title and Deed Belongs to Israel. But they prefer to not be stewards of it anymore.

No, newc. They traded it for a purchased peace with Egypt and Jordan. Should the peace fail, they’ll take back the land — as g(r)omgoru points out.

#5 EC, you beat me to it. Will there be a topless section for the Jet Set?

Somehow I think that wouldn't surprise me with the Saudi's invasion of Europe back in the big oil days.

#2 Egypt, you need to forgive Sisi for allowing Saudi Arabia this plot. All of this Land in Title and Deed Belongs to Israel. But they prefer to not be stewards of it anymore. Rather to remind you that you have been trusted to now be Stewards of your own to ensure a greater Peace.

A True peace or then we will revert to you cannot have nice things anymore real fast.

Everyone shut up.

#1 Egypt is planning to build 12 de-salinization plants in the region. Egypt is helping greatly. This is a better movement than none.

I think they all got the memo.

Because they do not want to get the real thing.
