Trump has not been such an honest broker on Palestinian statehood, Saudi prince says
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said Israelis have a "right to have their own land."
"The kingdom is still committed to the Arab peace initiative and the emergence of a Palestinian state with its capital in Jerusalem," Prince Turki told CNBC. Prince Turki is a cousin of the crown prince in the large royal family and has long been a critic of the U.S. role in the Middle East. The "Abraham Accords," signed on Aug.13 by the UAE and Israel, marked the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Bahrain signed onto the deal days later, making the UAE and Bahrain the third and fourth Arab countries to normalize relations and recognize Israel, after Jordan and Egypt.
Foreign ministers from the UAE and Bahrain were present at a signing ceremony last week in Washington, alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump.
