Turki al-Faisal, the former Saudi ambassador to Washington, said Saturday that unless the United States stops “favoring Israel,” U.S.-Saudi relations could be “at risk.” He said that ormer President George W. Bush left a "sickening legacy" in the Middle East, and warned President Barack Obama that the U.S. needed to force Israel to accept the 2002 Saudi peace plan, which would entail a complete withdrawal by Israel from Judea and Samaria, and liberated parts of Jerusalem.
"America is not innocent in this calamity," said Turki, referring to Israel's fighting against Hamas terrorists in Gaza. "Not only has the Bush administration left a sickening legacy in the region, but it has also, through an arrogant attitude about the butchery in Gaza, contributed to the slaughter of innocents."
