obviously, it can be assumed that saudi arabia, which is such a hub, is very important for the supplyf weapons to africa. obviously, it can be in its warehouses part of soviet equipment, soviet weapons. ugh. well, money is obviously important too. which can be transferred to saudi arabia in one way or another, although of course, they, they rather transfer humanitarian cargo, humanitarian cargo, and transfer quite a lot of money, and the obvious peace formula, it should not be discounted either, because this it is important for us that saudi arabia participates in this forum in the first persons of the first persons, well, in fact, it all started there from jeddah. from the near east and generally from these countries, the idea of ​​a peace formula. you have already mentioned something about the fact that an important issue that binds us to saudi arabia is the return of prisoners, the return of ukrainians deported by russia. is it only about prisoners of war? we know that there are also a huge number of civilian prisoners, and the question of their return is very painful, because ther

is the number of officers ended up in saudi jails, saudi run jails, um so senior commander types ended up in saudi um jails for like 50 days or so along with the ranking file and this you know started this slew of defections um but you have regular yeminis too um who have risen up against this they're burning pictures of uae leader muhammad bin zayat they're burning the israeli flags this this isn't controlled areas religious leaders who are in coalition areas, possibly one of them possibly the most prominent personality in all of eastern yemen, controlled by the saudis has um, you know, absolutely supported ansara's attacks on israeli bond vessels and um, that this is a yemeny right to do this, this is a yemeni responsibility to do this to aid our brothers in palestine and gaza, so yemen's interior domestic situation has shifted so dramatically in these last four months, it's almost unrecognizable and nobody's reading about it. but mean except the cradle of course yeah of course and in addition to their support to palestine uh we people should also know that the economy under al contr

and the saudis both are very cautious. because they know that if they engage in any conflict with the admin that they could be on the receiving end of drones and miss house. and that could be devastating to these countries because both of them are very vulnerable. and both of them are very much dependent on that when left. can you give us any insight into what the official sentiment is from iran political class? where do they stand on what's happening in gaza? well, we know that or guys in military capabilities or defense capabilities where they come from a ronnie and support a mosque, they support your allies like as for stomach to hot bill tunnel if they support them in their endeavors to create a defense capability to resist against his right of the aggression wrong will continue to do that. it will continue to support us and will continue to support. uh, yeah, i mean, it will support 11 on and has will. and the whole resistance front, whether it's an iraq or syria or anywhere iran will support them. iran believes that

involve the saudi's giving israel recognition from saudi arabia.is a huge win for israel. after many years, this would be the biggest, most important muslim majority country in the world, essentially said we recognize israel and importantly without israel having to make significant concessions on the palestinian -- that is where this whole process has been beneficial for the u.s., saudi, israel. the palestinians and their advocates have been saying, where are we in the conversation? prayer talks, already huge anxiety about these talks. then the attacks happen. no one has said they see u.s. -- the process as part of the reason for the october 7 attack. in part for the palestinians to bring this issue back on the negotiating table. however, since then what we have seen is that rather than considering maybe this approach got us to conflict, the biden administration has doubled down on the u.s.-saudi-israel deal. they have tied it to what they were doing before the gaza war. the new proposal is rebuilt gaza using saudi money. this will be part of the w

and so the saudis don't want to be seen siding with americans in israel. but on the other hand, the, the saudis, they've carried out genocide against the amazon for 7 years alongside with the support of the americans and the british. so there's no love lost between the saudi regime and the people of yeah, man. but it would be very dangerous for the saudis to get involved because the m and a has a very powerful missile and drone capability. and so the oil and petra chemical and refinery capabilities are very valuable to the many armed forces and to how many, how many drawn to themselves. so i think the saudis are going to be cautious and trying not to be seen is taking sides with americans coming up next. and yeah, man has long been the world's main concern for a humanitarian crisis. after nearly a decade of bombings at the hands of its neighbors, the country only shedding that grim distinction after israel began its campaign in gaza. we'll discuss it when we return with professor mirandi. sit tight. m o will be right back. the or the look forward to talkin

and the saudis both are very cautious. because they know that if they engage in any conflict with the admin that may could be on the receiving end of drones and missiles. and that could be devastating to these countries because both of them are very valuable. and both of them are very much dependent on that when left. can you give us any insight into what the official sentiment is from iran political class, where do they stand on what's happening in gaza? so we know that guys in military capabilities, the defense capabilities where they come from a ronnie and support from us, they support their allies like as to stomach to hot bill tunnels. they support them in their endeavors to create a defense capability to resist against. because when the aggression will continue to do that, they will continue to support us and will continue to support gammon. it will support 11 on and has will and the whole resistance front, whether it's in iraq or syria or anywhere. iran will support them. you rob believes that the is randy received

in fact, saudi arabia has been the main implementer of american policies in the region.he 1990s, we have been faced with the shameless and brazen phenomena known as the new international order, which..." seal the presence of america as the soul access. this means that yemen has always been a disturbing factor for the implementation of their policies and in 2015, with the invasion of the saudi coalition, which aimed to control and dominate the nation of yemen, a great failure occurred for diplomacy and human rights defenders. the yemen project has undoubtedly been one of the biggest failures of muhammad bin salman, and this issue will have. there are areas that are particularly sensitive, which are related to feeding a significant part of the production in western europe. we're basically talking about two important crossings, obviously. straight of hormos and straight of bobbel and dab, we should think about the behavior of the colonial powers in this regard. it is no coincidence that jubit is a state created by the french in this passage with the aim of having a permanen

and that's why they defeated the saudis enamel rockies. so them are odd to use and the saudis both are very cautious because they know that if they engage in any conflict with the admin that they could be on the receiving end of drones and miss house. and that could be devastating to these countries because both of them are very valuable. and both of them are very much dependent on that when left. can you give us any insight into what the official sentiment is from iran political class? where do they stand on? what's happening in gaza? so we know that guys in military capabilities or defense capabilities where they come from a ronnie and support from us. they support your allies like as to stomach to hod bill tunnel. they support them in their endeavors to create a defense capability to resist against his ran the aggression wrong will continue to do that. it will continue to support us and will continue to support gammon. it will support loving on and has will and the whole resistance front, whether it's in iraq or syria or anywhere iran w

the saudi backed affinity partners owns a stake in the israeli automaker schlomo group. during the conflict in gaza, the schlomo group contributed trucks and military equipment. to the israeli military's shaldag and maglan units. according to the schlomo group's linkedin page, it has also supplied hundreds of food packages to israeli security agencies throughout this time period. the people of the region should take their pick, the axis of resistance or the axis of assistance. david, what's your thoughts on that report about this saudi-backed kuschner hedgefund that's actually? invested in an israeli company that's arming the occupation forces? well, this is a quite a complicated question, but krishna of course was uh trump's son-in-law who was given these kind of informal roles with. trump was president and and to fix things in in relation to what they call the middle east, yeah, so he was the fixer, he went over to cnbs, the the leader of saudi and they got them to invest two billion dollars, i think it was into this this fund to collaborate with the israelis, so what

david, what's your thoughts on that report about this saudi-backed kushner hedge? that's actually invested in an israeli company that's arming the occupation forces, well this is a quite a complicated question, but kushna of course was trump's son-in-law who was given these kind of. informal roles when trump was president and and to fix things in in relation to what they call the middle east, yeah, so he was the fixer, he went over to cnbs, the the leader of saudi and they got them to invest two billion dollars, i think it was into this this fund, and that allows them then to collaborate with the israelis, so what what you see there is the this is the abraham accords, the the increasing normalization of the designist entity in parts of west asia, it's an integration between israel, 'the us, the saudis, the ue and others, which means that that we have effectively surveillance activities and intelligence activities of the ue and saudi contracted out to the israelies, so effectively we're seeing kind of israely imperialism, so for those who say the tail doesn't wack t

between israel and saudi arabia. so those discussions are ongoing as well. we certainly received positive feedback from both sides that they are willing to continue to have those discussions. but that is a separate track and not from related specifically to trying to get this extended humanitarian pause in place. both are really important though. well, the saudis say that's just not true. might be a bit of optimistic thinking on the white house as part, but it's not much more for the past 3 years, the vitamin ministration has been trying to get countries in the middle east stand in the muslim world to recognize israel, but it hasn't been happening let's recall when biden 1st took office, how optimistic he seemed about the middle east. i believe the palestinians is rarely equally deserved to live safely and securely and enjoy equal measures of freedom, prosperity and margaret. my administration will continue our quiet and relentless diplomacy towards that end. i believe we have a genuine opportunity to make progress a

and so the saudis don't want to be seen citing with america. it was in israel. but on the other hand, the, the saudis, they've carried out genocide against the, i'm going for 7 years along side or with the support of the americans and the british. so there's no love lost between the saudi regime and the people have yeah, right. but it would be very dangerous for the saudis to get involved because the m and a has a very powerful missile and drone capability. and so the oil and petra chemical and refinery capabilities are very valuable to the many armed forces and to how many, how many drawn to themselves. so i think the saudis are going to be cautious and trying not to be seen is taking sides with americans coming up next to me i'm it has long been the world main concern for a humanitarian crisis. after nearly a decade of bombings at the hands of its neighbors, the country only shedding that grim distinction after israel began its campaign in gaza. we'll discuss it when we return with professor mirandi. sit tight demo will be right back. the the take a fresh look

this is nation that has been able to resist the saudi invasions and is in control of sana.is issue is very important because there is a part that is not under the control of ansarullah. the part of yemen that is under the control of ansarullah includes 85% of the country's population, so it can be said that ansarullah plays the... role of the government of yemen, this is the part of yemen that is resisting, this part of yemen is undoubtedly showing the arab world and the islamic world that actors who know how to resist with determination and persistence in their own land can support the palestinian issue, they have not only exposed the cooperation of the governments of the region with the zinanis regime, but basically they also show everyone the approach of the west towards the problems of the region. "we must always remember that the academic environment is a place where it continuously legitimizes the discourses published by the mainstream media. these hagemanic media talks about the necessity of guaranteeing free shipping in the red sea. this necessity suddenly came to t

in fact, saudi arabia has been the main implementer of american policies in the region.0s, we have been faced with the shameless and brazen phenomena known as the new international order, which seal the presence of america as the soul act. this means that yemen has always been a disturbing factor for the implementation of their policies and in 2015 with the invasion of the saudi coalition which aimed to control and dominate the nation of yemen, a great failure occurred for diplomacy and human rights defenders. the yemen project has undoubtedly been one of the biggest failures of muhammad bin salman and this issue will have domestic consequences for saudi arabia in the long run. i believe that what we are witnessing in yemen is undoubtedly the greatest example of resistance and distintas. some say this will greatly help the people's republic of china as trade is boosted along the silk. favorecido, a ese nivel de locuras llegan algunos, no, pero lo cierto es que está, some people have reached this point of madness, and what is certain is that these conditions of complicate

this is nation that has been able to resist the saudi invasions and is in control of sana.this is issue is very important because there is a part that is not under the control of the law. the part of yemen that is under the control of the law includes 85% of the country's population, so it can be said that ansarlah plays. the role of the government of yemen, this is the part of yemen that is resisting, this part of yemen is undoubtedly showing the arab world and the islamic world that actors who know how to resist with determination and persistence in their own land can support the palestinian issue, they have not only exposed the cooperation of the governments of the region with the zinanis regime, but basically they also show everyone the approach of the west towards the problems of the region. we must always remember that the academic environment is a place where it continuously legitimizes the discourses published by the mainstream media. these germanic media talks about the necessity of guaranteeing free shipping in the red sea. this necessities suddenly came to the we

or the people could you just because that's the, the headlines on how to international iran and saudi arabia declare they will deepen military cooperation to secure a regional piece as the tide menu. but the help of china stop the fed for the most go reiterate it is ready for peaceful, highlighting that is legitimate interests must be taken into account of the western media spins, but the cheapest way to fight russia is to pay with ukrainian life to be clear anything ukraine giving and wanting to create is the cheapest possible way for us to enhance that security. it's just, it's the pricing has been done by the for it is the people who are being killed the us and you are by supplying them weapons. and unofficial words. busy in coming from is an easiest presidential election, having the incumbent defense minister striding into the lead on. if indeed the result is what a stein you'd already be on his way to becoming the nations pop guide. the iran, russia, gossip, washington. it's a package program for you this our live one on the internet. so it runs defense minister i met with the sa

and have trying to narrate saudi arabia in the way they want to suit their political ends. i'm sorry, director, quite frankly, has just put a very clear, robust statement. oh yeah. i think that when we see and contradictory statement and so on, the same problem from the us and at the saudis side is it's quite like taking a disagreement quite public. do you think this might the escalade or you know, why could they of result this issue before issuing statements? oh, this is, this is issue. this is a good point. i don't see it 1st the escalator. the main reason is because there is a, a public element to this. and i think what side to review is trying to do is trying to wrecked, rectify its relations and try to address if there are people that may have misunderstood the sound of the position. or people have deliberately taking, taking this out a position out of context. again, it goes back to the 1st point that i was trying to make earlier, and to kind of conceptualize it in the way they want. and in other words, that you know, we are very wester and officials will say that we

the what is ultimately important is the saudi statement itself, because this is a saudi matter. will saudi arabia recognize the zionist entity without recognizing a palestinian stage with east jerusalem as a capital. i think that the american statement is completely contradictory to the saudi ones. and this indicates that there are still differences between the saudi and the american opinions regarding the legislation on recognizing palestine. otherwise, before october 7th, saudi arabia was on the verge of recognizing the zionist entity, american intervention in the region has never been positive. whether in of get us down there, rocks on yemen, come for the gulf. it has always brought nothing but destruction, killing and prisons. all we see now is racism are practiced by the us to protect the zionist entity and punish the palestinian people. all of this has only worsened the situation as the american interventions have never taken a positive turn. the canadian politicians are demanding the nations prime minister. step done. that's after local media reported that just didn't cru

in fact, saudi arabia has been the main implementer of american policies in the region.ce the 1990s, we have been faced with the shameless and brazen phenomena known as the new international order, which seal the presence of america as the soul access. that yemen has always been a disturbing factor for the implementation of their policies and in 2015 with the invasion of the saudi coalition which aimed to control and dominate the nation of yemen, a great failure occurred for diplomacy and human rights defenders. the yemen project has undoubtedly been one of the biggest failures of muhammad bin salman, and this issue will have domestic consequences for saudi arabia in the long run. i believe that what we are witnessing in yemen is undoubtedly the greatest example of resistance and the pan-arab spirit that once swept. economically, there are different opinions, some say this will greatly help the people's republic of china as trade is boosted along the silk road and by train. a ese nivel de locuras llegan algunos, no, pero lo cierto es que está complicando, some people hav

and so the saudis don't want to be seen signing with americans in israel. but on the other hand, the, the saudis, they've carried out genocide against the admin for 7 years alongside with the support of the americans and the british. so there's no love lost between the saudi regime and the people of yeah, man. but the would be very dangerous for the saudis to get involved because the m and a has a very powerful missile and drone capability. and so the oil and petra chemical and refinery capabilities are very valuable to the many armed forces and to how many, how many drawn to themselves. so i think the saudis are going to be cautious and trying not to be seen is taking sides with americans coming up next to me i'm and has long been the world main concern for a humanitarian crisis. after nearly a decade of bombings at the hands of its neighbors, the country only shedding that grim distinction after israel began its campaign in gaza. we'll discuss it when we return with professor mirandi. sit tight. m o will be right back. the, the look forward to talking to

that report about this saudi-backed kushner hedgefund that's actually invested in an israeli company that's arming the occupation forces. well, this is a quite a complicated question, but... of course was uh trump's son-in-law who was given these kind of informal roles when trump was president and and to fix things in in relation to what they call the middle east, so he was the fixer, he went over to cnbs, the the leader of saudi and they got them to invest two billion dollars, i think it was into this this fund, and that allows them then to collaborate with the israelis, so what what you see there is the this is the abraham accords, the the increasing normalization of the signist entity in parts of west. it's an integration between israel, the us, the saudis, the uae and others, which means that that we have effectively surveillance activities and intelligence activities of the ue and saudi contracted out to the israelis, so effectively we're seeing kind of israeli imperialism, so for those who say the tail doesn't wack the dog, well we're seeing something really quite interesting d

the what is ultimately important is the saudi statement itself, because this is a saudi matter. will saudi arabia recognize the zionist entity without recognizing a palestinian stage with east jerusalem as capital. i think that the american statement is completely contradictory to the savvy ones, and this indicates that there are still differences between the saudi and the american opinions regarding the legislation on recognizing palestine. otherwise, before october 7th, saudi arabia was on the verge of recognizing the zionist entity. american intervention in the region has never been positive. whether in of get us down, there rocks on yemen, come for the gulf. it has always brought nothing but destruction, killing and prisons. all we see now is racism also the practice by the us to protect the zionist entity and punish the palestinian people. all of this has only worse and the situation as the american interventions have never taken a positive turn. the american journalist tucker calls and has announced that he's heidi, anticipates the interview with the russian presidents wil

saudi stands, the saudi stands because the american administration has pin so much hope on the normalization, the saudi condition of not normalizing bef before a cease fire in gaza that may that... may push the situation a bit forward and make the americans exert more pressure on the israelis, it's not guaranteed, but it might be that impetus which is required to push things in that way, and and how much do you think um that ways in on things um all that the saudi factor at this point in the seasfire talks? do you have a? well um again, i think we having some some sort of connection problems here, i can hear you now, the americans has also to be pressured, mean the whole area here has been on fire um since the beginning of what they call the arab spring and now with the access of resistance and uniting together in different parts of this area, the only um demand that they have that the us should leave this um area, they should leave iraq, they should leave syria and they should get out of this area, and i can see that the pressure has been put against us forces in iraq and syria by the iraqi

between israel and saudi arabia. so those discussions are ongoing as well. we certainly received positive feedback from both sides that they are willing to continue to have those discussions. but that is a separate track and not from related specifically to trying to get this extended humanitarian pulls in place. both are really important though. well, the saudis say that's just not true. might be a bit of optimistic thinking on the white house as part, but it's not much more for the past 3 years, the vitamin ministration has been trying to get countries in the middle east and in the muslim world to recognize israel. but it hasn't been happening. let's recall when biden 1st took office, how optimistic he seemed about the middle east. i believe the palestinians is rarely equally deserved to live safely and securely and enjoy equal measures of freedom, prosperity, and markers. my administration will continue our quiet and relentless diplomacy towards that end. i believe we have a genuine opportunity to make progress an

arabia, but saudi arabia, however and israel has had a long term of negotiations in the past, and at at this point is very difficult to to see if really definitely is unknown is unsincere. uh relation between the palestinian cause and the saudi arabian sort of complex and compromise of sticking to these what i think that is a compromise for the palestinian cause before starting on normalizing relations with israel i see that saudi arabia. it's not going to fall into the israeli and north american pressure of it starting relations with israel as long as the israel is on complient to international law and does not recognize palestinian state which actually is is in the israeli agenda something that is completely out of out of the question for them because they're not they're not willing to accept. the possibility of a palestinian state, so saudi arabia, i, i'm not very, very sure that they actually trying to pressurize israel or the united states to uh start negotiations and in order to get first the troops out of the gaza strip to stop the genocide and eventually to start talks with t

saudi arabia and it's banking on that uh, but in the context of a uh palestinian state, so there comes another inconsistency here between the israeli vision and the us vision uh that does perhaps stands in the way of that. what do you make of the us approach, which uh, i'm guessing behind closed doors, it may even be a condition or precondition that the us perhaps is uh posing uh in this scenario, if you agree, definitely saudi arabia is... not gonna um conclude normalization of relations with with israel as long as we don't find a solution for the palestinian uh chapter uh they made it very very clear that as long as there is no um a uh sovereign uh recognition of the palestinian state. internationally recognized uh there would not be definitely a recognition in this relations and the normalization of relations between israel and saudi arabia, but saudi arabia, however, and israel has had a long term of negotiations in the past, and at this point is very difficult to to see if really definitely is an known as... and sincere uh relation between the palestinian cause and the saudi arabi

is saudi stance, the saudi stance because the american administration has pin so much hope on the normalization, the saudi condition of not normalizing bef before a cease fire in gaza that... may that may push the situation a bit forward and make the americans exert more pressure on the israelis, it's not guaranteed, but it might be that impetus which is required to push things in that way, and and how much do you think um that weighs in on things, um that the saudi factor at this point in the seasfire talks? almal, do you have a? well, um, again, i think we having some some sort of connection problems here, i can hear you now, the americans has also to be pressure, i mean, the whole area here has been on fire um, since the beginning of what they call the arab spring, and now with the access of resistance, uniting together in different parts of this area, the only um demand that they have that the us should leave this um area, they should leave iraq, they should leave syria and they should get out of this area, and i can see that the pressure has been put against us forces in iraq and syria by

saudi arabia, mecca, 2023.m june 26 to july 1 , the hajj, a pilgrimage to holy places, continues in the main city of islam. every muslim tries to visit mecca at least once in his life. almost 3 million pilgrims come here during the annual hajj. it is impossible to speak, there are no words. this was my dream. finally, allah almighty gave me such an opportunity. of course, words cannot describe this at all. the kaaba is the main shrine of the muslim world. according to the teachings of islam, this is the first mosque on earth, which was built by adam himself. there is a black stone built into one of its walls. scientists believe it is a meteorite. for muslims this is the israel stone. it was once dazzlingly white, but then became darkened by human vices. “i know that it is just a stone, and it can neither help nor harm, but if i had not seen how the prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, kissed it, i would not have kissed it. however, it is not only the holy sites of islam that make saudi arabia one of the ke

and that's why they defeated the saudis enamel rockies. so them are odd to use and the saudis both are very cautious because they know that if they engage in any conflict with the evidence that they could be on the receiving end of drones and miss silas. and that could be devastating to these countries because both of them are very valuable. and both of them are very much dependent on that when left. can you give us any insight into what the official sentiment is from iran political class? where do they stand on? what's happening in gaza? so we know that us guys and military capabilities or defense capabilities where they come from, the ronnie and support from us. they support the allies like as hispanic, to hod bill tunnels. they support them in their endeavors to create a defense capability to resist against his ran the aggression wrong will continue to do that. it will continue to support us and will continue to support gammon. it will support 11 on and as well and the whole resistance front, whether it's an iraq or syria or anywhere ir

the saudi backed affinity partners owns a stake in the israeli automaker schlomo group. during the conflict in gaza, the schlomo group contributed trucks and military equipment to the israeli military's shaldag and maglan units. according to the schlomo group's linkedin page, it has also supplied hundreds of food packages to israeli security agencies throughout this time period. the people of the region should take their pick, the access of resistance or the access of assistance. what's your thoughts on that report about this saudi-backed kuschner hedgefund that's actually invested in an israeli company that's arming the occupation forces? well this is a quite a... complicated question, but kushner of course was uh trump's son-in-law who was given these kind of informal roles when trump was president and and to fix things in in relation to what they call the middle east, yeah, so he was the fixer, he went over to cnbs, the leader of saudi and they got them to invest two billion dollars, i think it was into this this fund, and that allows them then to collaborate with the

arabia, but saudi arabia, however, uh and israel has had a long term of negotiations in the past and sticking to these what i think that is a compromise for the palestinian cause before starting on normalizing relations with israel, i see that saudi arabia is not going to fall into the israeli and north american pressure over starting relations with israel as long as the israel don't complaint to international law and does not recognized palestinian state, which actually is is in the israely agenda, something that is completely out of out of the question for them. because they're not, they're not willing to accept the possibility of a palestinian state, so saudi arabia, i, i'm not very, very sure that they actually trying to pressurize israel or the united states to start negotiations and in order to get first the troops out of the gaza strip to stop the genocide and eventually to start talks uh with the palestinian national authority to be able to find a possibility of recognizing the palestinian state before uh recognition or normalization of relations between israel and saudi arab

between israel and saudi arabia. so those discussions are ongoing as well. we certainly received positive feedback from both sides that they are willing to continue to have those discussions. but that is a separate track and not from related specifically to trying to get this extended humanitarian pause in place. both are really important though. well, the saudis say that's just not true. might be a bit of optimistic thinking on the white house as part, but it's not much more. so the past 3 years, the vitamin ministration has been trying to get countries in the middle east and in the muslim world to recognize israel. but it hasn't been happening. let's recall when by them 1st took office, how optimistic he seemed about the middle east. i believe the palestinians is rarely equally deserved to live safely and securely and enjoy equal measures of freedom, prosperity, and markers. my administration will continue our quiet and relentless diplomacy toward that end. i believe we have a genuine opportunity to make progress a

russia presented an extensive position at the world defense exhibition in saudi arabia. our country brought more than 100 types of weapons, tested in combat conditions. this includes the deeply modernized il-76 transport aircraft. the us and uk launched new attacks on houthi targets in yemen. at least 15 air raids were carried out in the west and north of the country. the houthis said they would not leave the attack unanswered. modernized il-76 transport aircraft. modern samples of military equipment and weapons. the russian exposition at the world defense exhibition in saudi arabia is in the spotlight. this time it is twice as big as last year. more than 100 were placed on an area of ​​1.00 square m2 types of weapons, all tested in combat conditions. maria kudryavtseva found out what has already interested foreign partners. this is an updated version of the russian transport aircraft ill-76. despite the external similarity, it is fundamentally different from its own. show russia this aircraft live , because they are interested in it not only in eriad. more than 80 thous

arabia, what is happening in saudi arabia now is not at all the saudi arabia of 20 years ago, there lot of rights and freedoms appeared, including much more liberal interpretations of the alliance, well, but also a lot of opponents, such conservative clerics, who are still sitting in prisons just because they did not agree with this party line in some way, i have you strange question, absolutely... negative, but different i don't have any questions for you yet, i'm sorry, it follows from your words that even if israel had not been created in 47-48, the situation in that region would still be the same as it is now, well, maybe it was a little less degree, that is, not in israel, if, the question is either not only, or not primarily... first of all, the question is in israel, tell me, there is no israel, everything is the same, here we have palestine completely on the territory of israel, here we have saudi arabia, there is jordan, syria, iran, iraq, everything, everything is like this, and even if there were not all these escalations, bombings, houthis and so on and so on? it would b

arabia but saudi arabia however and israel has had a long term of negotiations in the past and at this point is very difficult to to see if really definitely is unknown is unsincee relation between the palestinian cause and the saudi arabian sort of complex and compromise. of sticking to these what i think that is a compromise for the palestinian cost before starting on normalizing relations with israel, i see that saudi arabia is not going to fall into the israeli and north american pressure over starting relations with israel as long as the israel's on complient to international law and not recognized palestinian state, which actually is is in the israeli agenda, something that is completely out of out of the question for them because they're not, they're not willing to accept the possibility of a palestinian state, so saudi arabia, i i'm not very very sure that they actually trying to pressurize israel or the united states to... start negotiations and in in order to get first the troops out of the gaza strip to stop the genocide and eventually to start talks with the palestinian nat

there is a real opportunity of saudi sides this agreement. they will sign a security agreement with the united states and israel. the piece of israel would get into, we would sign this accord with you but we want assurances that both israel and the palestinians can exist, coexist together in the same region peacefully. >> do you think that will be effective? rep mccaul: some would argue gaza and the west bank become palestinian states. opec supports a two state solution. i think netanyahu is subject to more forces to his right. you have to play to legacy. you can go down as a wartime president or the president who finally brought peace to the middle east. if you have the saudi sign-up, no one ever thought this would happen and all the other arab nations in the muslim nations would follow suit. that isolates hamas and iran and provides the best conditions for peace. the only thing the saudi's want is for palestinians an ability to govern in that environment. linda: next, lindsay wise. rep mccaul: i want to ask about this loan idea which i've a
