In a deeply concerning move, an Israeli billionaire has secured a significant investment deal in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to develop three residential buildings in the capital city. While the war in Gaza and Lebanon rages on, and innocent civilians fall victim to Israeli bombardment, Saudi Arabia and the UAE continue to openly support Israel, betraying the very Arab and Muslim causes they claim to defend. The new deal, involving around 920 housing units, reflects how these nations are turning their backs on their Palestinian brothers and sisters.
This collaboration comes as no surprise, as the Saudi and UAE regimes have long been complicit in normalizing ties with Israel under the guise of “economic growth” and “strategic partnerships.” Their true intentions, however, have become clear: these governments are willing to trade the blood and dignity of Arabs for profit and political power. As they strike deals with Zionist figures, their actions serve as a stark reminder that their interests lie not with the liberation of Palestine, but with serving the goals of the Israeli state.
For Palestinians and the broader Arab world, this is yet another chapter in the ongoing betrayal of the Arab identity and the Muslim cause. The Saudi and UAE leadership have proven time and again that they are خونة (traitors) and conspirators working against the very people they should be protecting. In cozying up to Israeli interests, they not only abandon Palestine but also reveal their willingness to conspire with those who oppress Arabs and Muslims across the region.
