"Growing Saudi-Israeli Relations: Closer to Normalization Every Day"

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stated in an interview with Fox News that Saudi Arabia and Israel are moving closer to normalizing ties "every day," while emphasizing that the Palestinian issue remains important. This comes after US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the issue during a meeting at the United Nations General Assembly. Both leaders acknowledged the significance of the Palestinian component in the normalization talks, with Netanyahu stating that Palestinians should be part of the process but not have a veto over it. The Biden administration believes progress on a two-state solution is crucial for the deal's success, as it would help address criticism of Saudi Arabia and gain support from progressive Democrats.
