Lungo e malinconico ritratto del principe Saud al Faysal, da 35 anni ministro degli esteri saudita. Bilancio: nessuna pace, nessuna gioia, solo crisi, nella sua carriera da diplomatico di razza. Il riferimento è alla pace tra israeliani e palestinesi, tra israeliani e mondo arabo.
“Peace until now has been like holding water or sand in your hand,” the prince said. “You see the amount of water, you think you can hold something in your hand, but it falls away. Sand is the same thing. So unless there is something to hold in your hand and to point to as a success and as an achievement, then you have done nothing.”
