YUGE: Saudi Crown Prince Says Palestinians should take what the U.S. offers.

In a closed-door meeting with heads of Jewish organizations in New York on March 27th, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) gave harsh criticism of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), according to an Israeli foreign ministry cable sent by a diplomat from the Israeli consulate in New York, as well three sources — Israeli and American — who were briefed about the meeting.

The bottom line of the crown prince’s criticism: Palestinian leadership needs to finally take the proposals it gets from the U.S. or stop complaining.

Plus: “A source who was briefed on the meeting told me the attendees were stunned when they heard the Saudi Crown Prince comments on the Palestinian issue. ‘People literally fell off their chairs,’ the source said.”

It’s probably a safe bet that was an instance of the new definition of “literally,” which is the same as the old meaning of “figuratively.”

That aside, between MBS putting the squeeze on the Palestinians, Beijing putting the squeeze on North Korea, and President Trump’s willingness (eagerness?) to throw out the rulebook, the prospects for global peace haven’t looked this good since 1991.
