[IsraelTimes] Saudi King Salman

says the kingdom is committed to an independent Paleostinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, ahead of a US-led conference on Middle East peace and security.

The monarch was speaking during a meeting with visiting Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

in Riyadh.

King Salman says his country "permanently stands by Paleostine and its people’s right to an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital," according to the official Saudi Press Agency.

The pledge comes as the United States is expected to offer hints of its proposals for peace between Israel and the Paleostinians at a conference in Poland.

Netanyahu rejected secret Saudi peace plan after Gaza war — report

[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a secret proposal from 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...
to broker an Israeli-Paleostinian peace deal at the end of the 2014 Gazoo war, according to a Channel 13 news report.

Israeli and Saudi sources familiar with the proposal told the TV station the plan was an "upgraded version of the Arab peace initiative."

At a closed door meeting in September 2014, Saudi officials proposed to resume negotiations with Paleostinians, and Riyadh would lead efforts to rehabilitate the Gazoo Strip.

According to the report, the Saudi king’s special envoy, Bandar bin Sultan, and another top official met with Netanyahu in an unnamed third country, and proposed the two countries jointly announce the peace initiative at the UN general assembly later that month.

Netanyahu initially agreed, and presented the Saudi officials with a list of Israeli demands. The Saudis agreed to most of the Israeli document, but told Netanyahu’s negotiators they "also needed to show flexibility" on some of the points.

Sources close to the prime minister said Netanyahu refused, and the talks broke down.
Betcha the Saudis wanted flexibility on East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capitol, dear Reader.
Sources in Saudi Arabia told Channel 13 that Riyadh "went further than they have ever gone," in the negotiations with Israel, and blamed Netanyahu for the initiative’s failure.
