Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu indicated: “If I return to the task of leading the State of Israel, I intend to reach full peace agreements with Saudi Arabia, as well as with other Arab countries.”

And he said in a social media statement that “Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman helped reach agreements to normalize relations with the UAE, Sudan, Bahrain and Morocco.”

Yesterday, US National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan said, commenting on US President Joe Biden’s visit to the Middle East, that “we would like to strengthen the path to better relations between Israel and more Arab countries and any positive normalization,” and added: “I cannot confirm that Israeli planes are flying through Saudi Arabian airspace and that is their business.”

I hope that “in the future we can help to integrate Israel deeper and more fully into the Middle East” and pointed out that “I will not preempt the intense efforts that will be made during the Biden visit regarding the normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia, in particular”. Progress and momentum towards the normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia as we head to the Middle East.”
