Smotrich: Israel committing mistake by giving MBS 'things'

Smotrich: Israel committing mistake by giving MBS 'things' In an interview broadcast on Monday, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Israel should not give Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman anything until he gives something in return. "I think we are giving him things; I do not want to elaborate on that. In my view, this is a mistake," Smotrich said. "I demand that bin Salman respect me if he wants me to help him. I am absolutely not willing to have bin Salman stand against us time after time, spit on us, and then expect us to continue giving him things," he added.
