Normalized ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia may be more likely
There's reports now that Israel could normalize relations with Saudi Arabia:
Earlier this month, a diplomatic source revealed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had engaged in two phone conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) within a span of a few weeks. This comes after a clandestine meeting in November 2020, when Netanyahu, accompanied by Yossi Cohen, the former head of Mossad, held talks with MBS in Nayom, Saudi Arabia. The meeting was also in the presence of then-United States secretary of state, Mike Pompeo.Be that as it may, Biden's bunch decidedly cannot be relied upon to serve as a mediator in this affair. After all that practically occurred during the Clinton administration at Israel's expense, what good could come of Biden having any involvement? None. Any negotiations between Israel and Saudi Arabia would be best managed without the USA's involvement.
Earlier this month, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan stated that achieving a complete normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia is their primary objective, as it aligns with the national security interests of the US.
This statement stands out as a relatively uncommon remark from the Biden administration, which has not extensively addressed this matter thus far. Furthermore, in an interview with The Jerusalem Post earlier this month, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen expressed the belief that normalization with Saudi Arabia is not a matter of “if” but rather “when.”
