Israel's Smotrich tells Saudi Arabia: 'Keep riding your camels in the desert'

Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Thursday that Israel should reject a normalisation deal with Saudi Arabia in exchange for a Palestinian state. “If Saudi Arabia tells us that it is normalisation in exchange for a Palestinian state, then no thank you, my friends,” Smotrich said at a conference hosted by the Tzomet Institute, responding to a question on relations with Saudi Arabia. “Keep riding your camels in the Saudi desert. We’ll continue to develop our economy, society and state with all the great things we know how to do.” Smotrich released a video statement a few hours later, in which he apologised for his remarks.
