The success of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Washington is part of the ongoing strengthening of bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States, and therefore must not come at the expense of the State of Israel. The signing of numerous modern arms contracts with the Saudis and the Arab demand for the establishment of a Palestinian state before any normalization risks weakening the Jewish state in the region and jeopardizing its vital security interests.
Of course, we welcome President Donald Trump's considerable efforts to end hostilities in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria to finally achieve a lasting peace in the region, but we regret that commercial contracts are taking precedence over diplomatic, strategic, and military matters.
The Middle East remains unstable, and for the time being, Arab regimes remain fragile, unlike Israel, the sole bastion of democracy. A militarily strong and economically powerful Jewish state is in the interest of the United States and a guarantee for Europe, particularly in the fight against Islamist terrorism. In this context, we should examine all the issues in our relations with Washington and sign a new memorandum of understanding that will offer Israel solid guarantees, technological and military superiority, and above all, absolute control in air combat in the face of the sale of F-35 stealth aircraft to Saudi Arabia.
Following the terrible massacre of October 7, 2023, this memorandum of understanding must also include the following clauses:
-No withdrawal of Israel to the 1949 armistice lines.
– No IDF withdrawal from the Golan Heights and the Jordan Valley.
– Jerusalem is the sole capital of the Jewish state.
-Secure and defensible borders on all fronts before any negotiations for the possible creation of a Palestinian state.
-To allow the IDF to have a free hand to act in the face of every imminent danger.
-To counter any attempt by Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and ballistic and cruise missiles, to rearm Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, and to sabotage the normalization process with Saudi Arabia.
-American inspectors will be tasked with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to monitor the possible construction of a nuclear power plant in Riyadh and to ensure nuclear non-proliferation in other Arab-Muslim countries.
-The United States will oppose and, if necessary, vote against any initiative by the UN Security Council to impose resolutions on Israel that are incompatible with this memorandum of understanding.
These points mentioned represent a consensus within Zionist parties, both right and left.
Once the memorandum of understanding is signed between Israel and the United States, the way will be clear to begin serious negotiations and expand the circle of normalization within the framework of the Abraham Accords. The purpose of this new memorandum of understanding is to strengthen our alliance with the Americans while preserving our independence and sovereignty, and to refrain from automatically agreeing to any American initiative or decision for fear of losing the support of the president and Congress.
Of course, we are pleased that the current occupant of the White House is undoubtedly the greatest friend of the State of Israel and the Jewish people, and that his intentions are truly sincere. We are also satisfied that, given the failure of the UN and the weakness of Europe, the American presence in the world, and in the Middle East in particular, is dominant in the face of Russia and China.
It is worth remembering that Saudi Arabia is the cradle of Islam, the custodian of the holy sites, and one of the leading powers in the Islamic world –economically, spiritually, politically, and even militarily. Peace between Riyadh and Jerusalem will have far-reaching theological repercussions, fostering a historic rapprochement between the Muslim world and the Jewish people.
Also, be aware that there are no "free meals" among Americans; we should therefore seize this historic opportunity and make certain concessions if necessary to finally guarantee absolute security to all Israeli citizens and future generations.
