"Arab Nations' Proposal for U.S.-Saudi-Israeli Pact to End Israel-Hamas War"

U.S. lawmakers and diplomats, including Senator Lindsey Graham, are engaging in high-stakes meetings with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to create a far-reaching pact between the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Israel aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas war and establishing a framework for Palestinian self-governance in Gaza. The potential deal faces significant political obstacles in all three countries, with Saudi Arabia insisting on a realistic pathway to a Palestinian state and Israel grappling with the aftermath of a recent terrorist attack. Despite challenges, the U.S.-Saudi-Israeli pact could offer a political win for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and an exit strategy from the war.
