Saudi initiative: Saudi Arabia’s powerful ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, has put his country in a unique position. If he plays his cards right, he can contribute to security in the Middle East, bring peace between the Arab world and Israel – and at the same time pave the way for a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Biden cannot afford to alienate Saudi Arabia, and Bin Salman does not want to be pushed into China’s arms. The EU – regardless of doubts about the Crown Prince’s character in general – should support this.
