China will never be able to broker a peace deal between
Israel and Palestine, even if it tries. Not when the USA is behind the
scene supporting Israel and that is why it will never happen. And the
USA will never give China the initiative to do that. That would mean a
loss of face again.
The deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia was
able to be carried out because Saudi Arabia was then getting tired of
the USA trying to force Mohammed bin Salman into compliance like his
father, pandering to the USA's dictate. The peace deal was brokered by
keeping out the USA from the room during the negotiations. This young
man has a mind of his own, and knows the kingdom had, all over the
decades, been taking care of the USA's interest in the Middle East by
pricing oil in US$.
That support by OPEC in pricing oil in US$
was MBS bargaining chip in the face of Joe Biden's slight by calling him
a 'pariah'. Being called a 'pariah' was a really degoratory insult
which MBS clearly was hurt very deeply. The consequence threatened
against him was never put into gear, so far, as the US$ hegemony hangs
in his hands with the Saudis as the leader of OPEC. Even in the face of
repeated cutbacks in oil production, against the dictates of the USA,
those actions shows the determination of MBS to cross swords with the
USA.
When Saudi Arabia and Iran were enemies, we could perhaps
surmise that the Arabs would not support the Muslims in the Middle East.
But now for the USA and Israel to play that card is no longer feasible,
with Iran and Saudi Arabia no longer in conflict. Just like trying to
create tensions between China and Russia amid the Ukraine War, which did
not materialise. It is heaven's will that Iran and Saudi Arabia are no
longer in conflict. And it is all thanks to the USA pushing Saudi Arabia
in the wrong direction as it did with Russia.
