Gee, that's low--criticizing them for wanting to negotiate peace with the Saudis, just as they did with Egypt.

You must have just read Alice in Wonderland.

In your version does teh Red Queen shout: "Peace first on our terms! Negotiations later!"

...normalization of relations. Basically, Israel wants to have part of its end of this deal before negotiations even start.

A visit does not equal normalization of relations.

Both the Israeli and Saudi Arabian govts are concerned about PR and "how they look" to other countries. But so what - if that concern pushes them in the direction of peace. The vision of peace between Israel and every Arab government is ceratainly attractive isn't it?

I would hope that in the future Saudi Arabia would stop supporting forces violently opposed to peace, like Hamas.
