Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has expressed fears for his personal safety as he pursues a historic deal to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, according to a report by Politico.
The Crown Prince reportedly shared his concerns in recent discussions with U.S. lawmakers, comparing his situation to that of former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who was assassinated after signing a peace treaty with Israel.
This comparison underscores the high stakes involved in the ongoing negotiations, particularly amid heightened anti-Israeli sentiment in the Arab world following the Israeli-led genocide in Gaza. The Crown Prince’s remarks highlight the delicate balance he must maintain as he navigates this complex and potentially dangerous path toward peace.
The proposed deal hinges on significant U.S. commitments to Saudi Arabia, including security guarantees, assistance with a civilian nuclear program, and economic investments. In return, Saudi Arabia would establish diplomatic ties with Israel—a move that would mark a major breakthrough for Israel, especially given Saudi Arabia’s influence in the Arab world.
As the talks continue, the Crown Prince’s concerns add a new layer of complexity to the negotiations, illustrating the personal and political risks involved in what could be a transformative moment in Middle Eastern diplomacy.
