Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former top diplomat and intelligence chief, has said that the US needs to change its tune and exert more pressure on Israel or face a deterioration in its relations with the Middle East.

He called Israel’s three-week assault on Gaza which killed more than 1,300 Palestinians in the densely populated enclave, “barbaric” and a “catastrophe.”

He further said, “President Obama can do something and gain the confidence and support of the Arab and Muslim nations by showing that he has done things on the ground and not simply expressed a wish for that.”
He wrote in the daily Financial Times,

“If the US wants to continue playing a leadership role in the Middle East and keep its strategic alliances intact — especially its ‘special relationship’ with Saudi Arabia — it will have to drastically revise its policies vis a vis Israel and Palestine.” 

He concluded with writing,

Let us all pray that Mr Obama possesses the foresight, fairness, and resolve to rein in the murderous Israeli regime and open a new chapter in this most intractable of conflicts.

Does US really care about its relationships with Saudi Arabia as there is already some planning to break Saudi Arabia into small states along with some other countries like Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan. You can see the redrawn map for Middle East.
