USA, SAUDI ARABIA & ISRAEL
High Back Channels confirm that talks are continuing among USA, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. Crown Prince & Prime Minister, His Royal Highness, Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud aka, Crown Prince MBS, with HRH personal involvement with a small high-level team are actively working.
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with 3 requests to the USA ; 1 Condition to Israel; and 1 for Saudi’s Role in Jerusalem Holy Places.
- An ironclad security guarantee (equivalent to NATO Article V)
- An elaborate arms package comprising some of the U.S. most sophisticated armaments.
- Civilian nuclear energy assistance that comprises indigenous uranium enrichment on Saudi soil.
- CONDITION is aimed at Israel: Steps toward the Palestinians and two-state solution.
- His Highness MBS is to be granted role in the Muslim Holy Places in Jerusalem, presently co-managed between Joran and the Palestinians.
USA with 7 potential GAINS in The Middle East
- To receive symbolic political gain winning the Saudis back from China’s embraces.
- Getting Saudis on board with the Abraham Peace Accords ( This eluded President Trump’s Administration)
- Expanded OIL PRODUCTION and PRICE STABILITY.
- Mega-billion ARMS SALE to displace Chinese Telecom Technology
- Export NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
- Enhance its Global Competitiveness
- To use this agreement, to secure from Israel, MEANINGFUL CONCESSIONS towards a TWO-STATE Solution with the Palestinians.
ISRAEL 4 potential GAINS in the Middle East and USA.
- BIG BOOST in NORMALIZATION EFFORTS with GCC and ARAB Nations
- Consequential benefits with SECURITY, ECONOMIC and POLITICAL BENEFITS.
- President Netanyahu hopes to BOOST his POLITICAL FORTUNES after the latest CONSTITUTIONAL CONFRONTATION by Israelis.
- To secure a MORE FIRMER USA SECURITY GUARANTEE.
APPEARANCES a THREE-WAY, WIN-WIN SITUATION, but the USA MAY NOT be able to secure SENATE and CONGRESS’s approval.
ISRAEL right-wing Government may not be able to deliver what the USA and SAUDIS are requesting for the PALESTINIANS.
USA is thinly spread ESPECIALLY with UKRAINE and TAIWAN and its other Global Commitments, which will not be sustainable in the long term. Its HUGE Challenge is to moderate the Saudi’s Expectations, while offering TANGIBLE BENEFITS, with safeguards, conditions and agreement of deployment and use of USA arms, equipment, and systems.
Nations, SMART, SENSIBLE and STRATEGIC Negotiators WILL ENSURE enforcement mechanisms and penalties for NON PERFORMANCE by EACH NATION, to live up to the agreement, based on GOOD FAITH with Timely DELIVERABLES and OUTCOMES.
“ Despite recently closing hundreds of bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad—from giant “Little Americas” to small radar facilities. Britain, France, and Russia, by contrast, have about 30 foreign bases combined. By my calculation, maintaining bases and troops overseas cost $85 to $100 billion in fiscal year 2014; the total with bases and troops in war zones is $160 to $200 billion.”

September 26, 2023. AP UNGA “ Many powerful leaders skipped the UN this year. That created space. It seems that the Global North, under the U.S leadership, is busy resisting China’s growing power and weakening Putin’s Russia,” Zhiqun Zhu, a professor of political science and international relations at Bucknell University, said in an email. “No wonder China is seeking support in the developing world.”
“ Of the U.N. Security Council’s five permanent members, only the United States, in the personage of President Joe Biden, spoke. The others – Russia, China, France and Britain – chose to send underlings, as did India and Canada.”
CHINA & USA
China is currently the world’s second largest economy, and is projected to overtake the United States to become the largest economy by 2050. The country’s economic growth is expected to be driven by technological innovation, a large and growing middle class consumers.
- CHINA and USA should FOCUS on items they can WORK ON TO SOLVE
- TAIWAN a very contentious issue
- HOPE in the FUTURE, Nations like GUYANA will not have to choose between USA and CHINA
- Guyana MAY BE facing THIS CHOICE NOW in the USA, or CHINA…. Time will tell
FRIDAY August 18, 2023, USA President at CAMP DAVID.
- International COOPERATION and CLOSER ALLIANCE with JAPAN and SOUTH KOREA with the USA
- NOT MILITARY ALLIANCE discussions or agreements.
- Many AGREEMENTS to coordinate THEIR MAIN ACTIVITIES with COORDINATION.
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Palestine.
August 14, 2023. CNN. Jerusalem (CNN) — Saudi Arabia has appointed its first ambassador to the Palestinians, in a move that comes amid talks with the United States over a possible deal to normalize relations between the Gulf kingdom and Israel.”
“ In a show of support to Palestinians, Saudi Arabia named its ambassador to Jordan, Naif bin Bandar Al-Sudairi, as “Non-resident ambassador to the State of Palestine and Consul General in Jerusalem.”
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Developmental Interests
KSA has an abundance of Oil Wealth and is with a wish to enrich Nuclear Fuel for domestic purposes, and they have patiently waited many years to work on this desire, in a tough and changing neighborhood. Iran has an advanced Nuclear Programme and Israel reportedly has Nuclear Weapons.
Saudi’s NEW VISION is to work with the G 7, G 20, BRICS+; African Union, and OIC Groups, for Saudi’s developmental interests. Reportedly, KSA will most likely accelerate trade of their Oil in another basket currency, in addition to the US Dollar.
“ Saudi Arabia, a growing global power. The entire world has unquestionably acknowledged the Kingdom’s status and influence. It is set to lead the region into the ranks of major nations.” Ambassador of Saudi Arabia, H.E. Sultan bin Saad, while speaking to mark the 93rd National Day of the Kingdom in Kuwait.

MANY Western Countries’ commentaries on Saudi Arabia’s Human Rights Record, BUT, which Nation is with NO Human Rights SHORTCOMINGS, from among the United Nations, British Commonwealth, African Union (AU), G 7 or G 20 or G77 or BRICS+, ???????.
For Israel and the Middle East, the Key Driver will need to be for a NEW SECURITY baseline for all, with Respect, including a better way forward on the Palestinian issue. Iran is pursuing its nuclear programme, in the absence of an agreement with the USA. Reportedly, Saudi Arabia will also pursue a nuclear program for its safety, security and wellbeing.
GUYANA & SAUDI ARABIA
Ambassador Dr. Shamir, Graciously enjoyed THREE MEETINGS with the His Highness Crown Prince, and Minister of Defence, His Royal Highness, Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud aka. Crown Prince MbS
His Majesty King Salman, AND, His Royal Highness Crown Prince and Minister of Defense, MbS, BOTH, said repeatedly that “They will warmly welcome Guyana as an OPEC member in due course, and on this Most Holy Day Laylat al-Qadr and Eid Mubarak, to Guyana, Insha Allah.”
With negotiation AFTER Relationships Building and Maintenance, Patience, and Respect, do expect His Highness to consider an “OPEC WAIVER” to accommodate NEW NATION GUYANA, developmental needs.
His Royal Highness Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, MbS, Crown Prince, and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, also serves as the Chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs and Chairman of the Council of Political and Security Affairs. He is considered the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, being deemed as such even before his appointment as Prime Minister in 2022. He served as Minister of Defense from 2015 to 2022.
May/June 2019, based on continuing personal relationships, Ambassador Dr. Shamir, asked for Saudis assistances for a Brotherly & Sisterly GIFT of an OIL MONITORING SYSTEM for Guyana, and discussions were to continue, then my tenure ended and was wheels up from Kuwait on August 11, 2020.
BOTH Alternate Governors Dr. Shamir and Dr. Anwer, worked very closely, from Day 1 of Guyana’s membership at IsDB. Suriname’s Dr. Anwer served for 15 years, through May 2022. 3 Keys: Relationships, Respect, and Relationship Maintenance. Interestingly, Suriname WAS NOT OFFERED a USD $900 Million CREDIT & GRANT, 2018-2022, LIKE Guyana, simply amazing. Who knows know.
APNU+AFC Government 2015-2020, was unable to submit the NEEDED very EXPENSIVE FEASIBILITIES STUDIES to use the huge CREDIT & GRANT. To date NO media Announcement from the PPP Government, IF, the Grants were extended from 2022.
We successfully arranged for USD $900 Million CREDIT and GRANT for 2018-2022, with the need for FEASIBILITIES STUDIES and FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, for projects.

My Hope, Wish and Prediction for Guyana, IS, for an INFLUENCER CHANGE from Washington, SOON, for “ a National Unity/Shared Governance, with CIVIL SOCIETY, and MORE reasonable Royalties from ExxonMobil.” All Globally, know, During May/June/July 2020 USA was THE Heavy Influencer for the PPP Government’s installation on August 2, 2020.
Onward & Upward towards “One People, One Nation, One Destiny.”
