      The fact KSA was even willing to entertain such an agreement is because the Palestine apartheid hadn’t been getting global coverage for a few news cycles.

      It’s not that the situation disappeared, but the conversation was not talking about the situation, making it politically palatable to put it on the back burner to ignore it. At the global level
