🧵: Statements by the US and Israel endorsing ethnic cleansing plans in Palestine have forced Saudi foreign policy to revert back to the Arab nationalist days of King Faisal, argues MEE’s editor-in-chief @davidahearst in his latest column ⤵️ Image
@davidahearst A covert relationship claimed by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with Saudi Arabia, one that was years in the making, has been unravelling in a matter of days, Hearst writes.

Netanyahu had boasted about covert Israeli-Saudi relations in an interview last week AFP / Saudi royal palace / Bandar al-Jaloud
@davidahearst But the relationship between the two has been as much based on personal as state ambitions, writes Hearst.

As an unknown prince facing opposition from powerful members of the royal family, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) realised his path to power at home lay via Israel and the US

🧵: "They forced us to undress, then dragged us back outside by our hair”

Dozens of Palestinian women and girls reported sexual abuses committed against them by Israeli forces during the storming of Kamal Adwan hospital in Gaza last month.

Here are some of their stories ⤵️ Palestinian woman mourns next to the bodies of loved ones killed in overnight Israeli air strikes on Gaza City at Al-Ahli Arab hospital on 12 December 2024 (AFP/Omar al-Qattaa)
The Israeli incursion was preceded by nearly three months of a blockade preventing the entry of aid, medicine and food, as well as heavy bombardment in the hospital’s complex and vicinity
Once troops reached the hospital, they burned down different departments and killed patients and medical workers inside, according to health officials.

The remaining doctors and patients, roughly 350 people, were forced out of the hospital at gunpoint, half-dressed Israeli forces switched off oxygen supplies inside Kamal Adwan and forced medics and patients out in the streets on 27 December 2024 (Screengrab)
