King Abdullah wants to wipe Israel and Iran off the map

Posted By David Kenner Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 3:16 PM Share

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah probably refrained from expressing at least half this sentiment in his meeting today with President Obama: On June 5, he reportedly told French Defense Minister Hervé Morin that "There are two countries in the world that do not deserve to exist: Iran and Israel."

The scoop comes from Georges Malbrunot, a French journalist with Le Figaro. Malbrunot, a respected Middle East correspondent who spent four months as a hostage of the Islamic Army in Iraq, goes on to report that two sources, from diplomatic and military circles, have confirmed the story. He suggests that the anger directed as Israel was the result of the IDF raid on the Gaza-bound flotilla, which occurred just days before this outburst. (Hat tip goes to the eagle-eyed correspondents at Friday Lunch Club).

Update: Of course, the White House statement following the Obama-Abdullah meeting reaffirmed both leaders' sincerest hope that the current round of proximity talks will lead to "two states living side-by-side in peace and security."

Between Peace with IL and taking it off the map,where is thruth?

On June 30th, 2010 Arabic website Arabil published a news article about King Abdalla's and President Obama's talk about the Palestinian-Israeli conflit. The title said: "President Obama and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia calling for a State of Israel enjoy peace and prosperity": http://www.iba.org.il/arab
Although familiar with 1- the Arab leadership double standard 2 - Arab-Islamic hatred against Israel, Media is and must always be ,first and foremost, based on honest reporting. I'm expecting, as a Media person, to read Georges Malbrunot's scoop as an UPDATE on Arabic Arabil's article.
