Both peoples share spilled blood, and clearly, both share jubilation when they know their own is safer
While the next phases may be more difficult to reach, it wouldn’t hurt to be relieved and hopeful -just for a bit
Long may peace last and long may we find a way to live together

My thoughts on what to expect from the bilateral #Saudi -#USA discussions on the defense & security
