Ale Saud were Paid British Agents , at the time of Establishment of Monarchy

A senior Saudi prince, Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, has revealed that his father was paid a monthly salary from Britain during the time of establishing Al Saud kingdom.

In an interview with Al Jazeera news agency, responding to the reporter’s question on whether Abdul Aziz Al Saud was paid from the UK, he replied, “Yes, he received a salary from Britain, and in my opinion, this wage was like a loan, which wealthy countries offer the poor ones.”

Being asked whether the fixed wage was like a bribe in order to dominate the King, the twentieth son of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz said, “Perhaps. Is it reasonable that in that time the UK gave a large amount in God’s way to someone who lived in the desert? Certainly, they gave the money with an aim.”

The 81-year-old Price Talal, who has been living out of Saudi Arabia for a long time because of his criticisms against the Saudi regime, has led the Free Princes Movement along with his four brothers.

The movement is seeking for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in the country, a division between the ruling family and the government and also equality between women and men in the West Asian country.

Earlier in June, in an interview with London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper, Talal expressed his dissatisfaction with the appointment of Salman bin Abdul Aziz as Saudi Arabia’s new crown prince.

He said that the senior princes on the Kingdom’s Allegiance Council were not consulted on the succession of the 77-year-old Salman. Formed in 2006, the council consists of one representative for each son of King Abdul Aziz and is responsible for selecting the crown prince.

South Africa boycotts products labeled ‘Made in Israel’

The South African government has put the final seal on a measure boycotting goods produced in the illegal Israeli settlements across the occupied Palestinian territories.

The government on Wednesday confirmed that it will not import the goods produced in the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem) with “Made in Israel” labeling. 

Government spokesperson Jimmy Manyi said the goods produced would now be labeled as originating from the “Israeli Occupied Territories.”

The measure, which has been under consideration by the South African government since May, is aimed at preventing consumers from being misled into thinking that such goods come from Israel, Manyi said. 

Separately, Canada’s largest Protestant church has also approved a similar measure to boycott goods produced in the occupied West Bank. 

The United Church of Canada made the decision on August 15 and approved a policy paper two days later at its 41st general council meeting in the capital, Ottawa. 

The move aims to show Tel Aviv that the church considers Israel’s continued occupation of the West Bank and East al-Quds as illegal, and wants the Israeli regime to stop settlement expansion on Palestinian lands. 

The church, however, maintains that its decision to boycott Israeli products is guided by the international legal opinion and the staunch anti-racist belief in the equality of humans. 

Israeli settlements are considered illegal by the UN and most countries, because those Palestinian territories were captured by Israel in a war in 1967, and are hence seen as being subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbids construction on occupied lands. 

A number of industries have sprung up in the illegal Israeli settlements, with a range of products, including cosmetics, beverages and plastics.
