Prince Khaled praises US on Yugoslavia, asks for similar treatment of Israel
Regional-Yugoslavia, Politics, 4/9/1999

Commander of the allied troops during the Gulf War, Saudi Arabian Prince Khaled Bin Sultan, has called upon Washington to adopt the same tough stand it takes now in Yugoslavia against Israel.

In an article published by the London-based al-Hayat daily on Wednesday congratulating the United States for its actions in Kosovo, Prince Khaled said the US bias toward Israel is damaging to US interests. He expressed his hope that there will be a day on which the American people would realize that "it is their interest to achieve justice and lift repression and not to abide by whatever is said by Israel."

Prince Khaled added, "We ask the US, when you are the only superpower, to get rid of being a follower of Israel, and her supporter, when she is oppressive or very oppressive, since Israel has never been oppressed," so that "we" can praise you, as "we" praise you now for your action in Yugoslavia.

Prince Khaled called for greater support for the US for its action, and for not stopping the raids against Yugoslavia before the refugees are able to return within the framework of a political solution for the Kosovo crisis.
