(JNS) – U.S. President Donald Trump told Saudi Arabian officials that they ought to recognize Israel formally, and by doing so, “you’ll be greatly honoring me.”

“It’s been an amazing thing, the Abraham Accords. It’s my fervent hope, wish and even my dream, that Saudi Arabia, a place I have such respect for, especially over the last fairly short period of time—what you’ve been able to do,” Trump said in a speech in Riyadh on Tuesday, with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman looking on.
“But we’ll soon be joining the Abraham Accords. I think it will be a tremendous tribute to your country and something that’s going to be very important for the future of the Middle East,” the president said. “I took a risk in doing them. They’ve been an absolute bonanza for the countries that joined.”
Trump added that the Biden administration “did nothing for four years.”
“We would have had it filled out, but it will be a special day in the Middle East, with the whole world watching, when Saudi Arabia joins us,” he said. “You’ll be greatly honoring all of those people that have fought so hard for the Middle East, and I really think it’s going to be something special.”
Trump added that the kingdom “will do it in your own time.”
Listen to the speech. He did not say, “by recognizing Israel you’d be honoring me”. You made that up. He said, “by joining the Abraham accords… “
It’s not the same thing. You’re trying to create an impression he said something he didn’t say. Israel was not mentioned in his speech.
The Saudis are very shrewd negotiators. They’re going to suck every last concession out of Trump.
Can you blame them? We’d all do the same.
Trump has deserted Israel .
While no more attacks , by Yemen , towards USA ,
still DAILY drones attacks ( ever since that accord of : USA – Trump) into Israel ,
like yesterday and today .
DISGRACEFUL.
stupendous speech, let’s hope it’s not just words.
We do not need some Saudis to recognize the Jewish State. One day they will all crawl and kiss the dust of the Jewish boots on their own.
Id like to clear the air a bit on trumps behavior he’s NOT an antisemite please stop the non sense He likes Israel but he LOVES AMERICA and for him it all boils dawn to “America First” if he can get big investments from other country’s to benefit the USA economy then that comes before Anything! With the exception of turning you’re back on an ally obesely he’s not troughing Israel under the bus here! its just an investment calm dawn!!!!!!!!
That’s my trump !!
if they join, israel will suffer for that. For Israel it’s no good.
President Trump discussed the Abraham Accords without mentioning Israel by name, and his speech included many references to October 7 without
mentioning Israel by name — EXCEPT FOR ONCE that we heard — when the President said, “All civilized people must condemn the October 7th atrocities committed against Israel.”
hey maybe i should of voted for Harris she would of made Israel recognizes the Saudis
