"...In an interview with Newsweek published Saturday Faisal said, "The United States has the means to persuade the Israelis to work for a peaceful settlement. It needs to tell them that if it is going to continue to help them, they must be reasonable and make reasonable concessions."

 

When asked whether the US should withhold funds until Israel agreed to a peace plan calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state Faisal said, "Why not? If you give aid to someone and they indiscriminately occupy other people's lands, you bear some responsibility."Faisal said relations with Israel were contingent upon a peace deal with the Palestinians. "We don't have anything to offer Israel except normalization, and if we put that before the return of Arab land we are giving away the only chip in the hands of Arab countries," he said..."
