Zionist Ambitions in Saudi Arabia

After Trump’s “real estate bombshell,” in which he declared his imperialistic intent to buy Gaza and turn it into a “Riviera,” funded by a wealthy Arab state (a clear reference to Saudi Arabia), the colonial ambitions of Zionist and American forces have once again come to light. This outrageous suggestion reduces Gaza—a land soaked in the blood of its martyrs who have defended it for generations—to a mere piece of real estate with no rightful owners. In Trump’s vision, Gaza’s people are nothing more than stateless migrants who should be deported to neighboring Arab countries, akin to the way illegal immigrants are deported from the U.S. to Latin America or Guantanamo Bay.

Adding fuel to this colonial fire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shamelessly proposed the establishment of a so-called “Palestinian state” on Saudi Arabian land. This was a direct response to the Kingdom’s steadfast support for the Palestinian right to establish an independent state on their historic lands in the West Bank and Gaza, with Jerusalem as its capital. These declarations reinforce the ever-expanding imperialist ambitions of the Zionist-American alliance.

For America and Israel, colonial expansion is not only acceptable—it is a right. Arab lands are viewed as open fields for conquest, ripe for seizure through brute force, in total disregard for international laws. This, despite the fact that the West imposes severe sanctions on Russia for its occupation of Ukrainian territories and spends hundreds of billions to support Ukraine’s defense. Such double standards highlight the unyielding ambitions of the U.S. and Israel in Saudi Arabia, which are neither recent nor incidental.

Trump openly demanded that Saudi Arabia inject a billion dollars into American sovereign investments while also funding his Gaza project—essentially financing the forced displacement of Palestinians. This plan, backed by Jordan and Egypt through financial incentives, would create a catastrophe even more severe than the 1948 Nakba. Meanwhile, Israel seeks normalization with Saudi Arabia not for peace, but for access to its financial wealth. Netanyahu’s outrageous proposal for a Palestinian state on Saudi land is a continuation of the expansionist vision held by generations of Zionist leaders.

Historical Zionist Ambitions in the Arabian Peninsula

Every historical event, no matter how distant, can be manipulated to justify expansionist claims or spark new conflicts. The 2022 book Return to Mecca by Zionist historian Dennis Avi Lipkin became a focal point of discussions in Israeli media, especially following the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation and the circulation of maps depicting Israel’s alleged “future borders.” Netanyahu’s declaration to “reshape the Middle East” and extremist ministers like Bezalel Smotrich, who advocates annexing the West Bank, and Itamar Ben Gvir, who calls for settlements in Gaza, have intensified these expansionist narratives.

Should Donald Trump return to the White House, he is likely to further empower Zionist ambitions. His past actions, including recognizing Israeli sovereignty over Syria’s Golan Heights, moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and backing plans to annex the West Bank and “purchase” Gaza, embolden Zionist extremists.

Zionist ideologues like Avi Lipkin claim that Israel’s borders should stretch from Lebanon to Mecca and Medina, from the Nile to the Euphrates. He argues that “the return of the Israelites to Mecca and Medina is inevitable,” twisting historical narratives to justify his claim. This is not a new assertion—Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir once stood in Naama Bay, Sinai, and declared, “I can smell my ancestors in Khaybar and Yathrib.” Likewise, Israeli war minister Moshe Dayan, upon entering Al-Aqsa Mosque, proclaimed, “This is the day of Khaybar; we have reached Jerusalem, and Yathrib is next.”

Israeli think tanks like the Dayan Center, Jaffe Center, and Shiloah Institute, along with religious Zionist movements like Shas and Mafdal, actively push this narrative. These groups circulate maps detailing Jewish tribal settlements in the Arabian Peninsula, particularly focusing on Khaybar’s fortifications, which Muslims liberated in 628 CE. This revival of Zionist claims over Saudi lands is not merely academic—it is a calculated attempt to advance their territorial agenda.

The Fabrication of Zionist Claims

Israeli journalist Eddie Cohen revealed in a Russia Today interview that a secret committee has been assessing Jewish “property claims” in Arab countries. This report estimates Jewish-owned assets confiscated by 10 Arab nations (including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, Yemen, Jordan, and Bahrain) at over $200 billion. Zionist media outlets claim that 1.43 million Jews were “expelled” from the Islamic world since 1948 and demand compensation.

Trump recently echoed this false narrative, stating that the King of Morocco must “apologize and compensate the Jewish community for exploiting their property,” questioning his legitimacy as ruler. This attempt to rewrite history is part of a larger Zionist strategy: fabricating claims over Arab lands to counter Palestinian demands for their right of return and compensation for their forced displacement.

Israeli sources claim that Jewish-owned real estate in the Arab world spans 120,000 square kilometers, with an estimated value of $15 trillion today. However, the truth is clear: the Zionist entity’s lies about Jewish expulsion are merely a continuation of its baseless justifications for colonial expansion.

Historically, Jews in the Arabian Peninsula were not “Israelites” but Arab tribes from Yemen who had adopted Judaism, much like the Ghassanid Arabs who embraced Christianity. The Jewish tribes of Khaybar and Banu Qurayza opposed Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his message, much like the Quraysh tribe, which fought against him in the battles of Badr and Uhud. The Jewish communities in North Africa, particularly in Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, migrated there after the fall of Andalusia in 1492, seeking refuge from the Spanish Inquisition.

Contrary to Israeli claims, Arab nations did not expel or seize Jewish property. Instead, Zionist agencies orchestrated their migration to Palestine, using deception and coercion. In Algeria, many Jews sided with the French colonialists and chose to leave after Algeria’s independence. In Morocco, the Mossad carried out assassinations to scare Jews into emigrating to Israel, as documented by Israeli historian Yigal Bin Nun. Similar tactics were used in Iraq, where Zionists collaborated with pro-British figures like Nuri al-Said to encourage Jewish migration. In Sudan, former President Jaafar Nimeiry facilitated the exodus of Ethiopian Jews (Beta Israel), revealing how Zionist movements—not Arab states—pushed Jews toward migration.

Today, many Arab countries, including Tunisia and Morocco, encourage Jewish citizens to participate in political life, appointing Jewish ministers to government positions. Yet, Sephardic Jews (Jews of Arab and North African descent) in Israel continue to suffer discrimination under Ashkenazi dominance, treated as second-class citizens.

Meanwhile, Palestinian refugees remain in exile, their lands stolen through massacres, demolitions, and ethnic cleansing. Israel destroyed their villages, obliterated their identities, and killed hundreds of thousands. The latest genocidal assault on Gaza is merely the continuation of decades of Zionist aggression.

Yet today, Trump proposes “buying Gaza,” and Netanyahu dreams of exiling Palestinians to Saudi Arabia. The Arab world must take a firm, unified stance, demanding that Israel be held accountable for its crimes. The only viable path forward is the return of Palestinian refugees to their homeland, the establishment of their independent state, and full compensation for decades of occupation, destruction, and dispossession.
