Saudi Royal (lack of) Intelligence
This is an important interview with Hasan Badib, former deputy chief of intelligence in Saudi Arabia. He reveals the extent to which King Faysal was closely coordinating with Sadat on peace initiative toward the Zionist entity up until his death. He also reveals the intelligence of Saudi intelligence: he said the the UN partition plan of 1947 allocated 3% of Palestine to the Jewish state (when in reality it gave it 55%). Read the interview and confirm in your head everything I have written, and others have written, about the Saudi responsibility for the Arab predicament and for the defeats of the Arabs. (thanks Kamal)
