Nice to be confirmed sometimes (me, to Brookings, early July vs. Nahal Toosi reporting this past week) 1. www.brookings.edu/articles/mak...www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Andrew Leber response: This aside, MBS’ attitude toward normalization is pragmatic: he will pursue it so long as it seems to provide security or reputational dividends but will not sacrifice significant standing at home or regionally to do so.
Nahal Toosi article: His comments made sense in the context of how others described MBS to me — as a Saudi nationalist. Whether he personally cares about the Palestinian cause is irrelevant. He’ll support it if it benefits Saudi Arabia.
