Biden's Top Adviser Engages in Talks with Saudi Crown Prince

President Joe Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, has been sent to Saudi Arabia for talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as the White House aims to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. The discussions covered various initiatives to promote peace and stability in the Middle East, including efforts to resolve the conflict in Yemen and the hope for normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia. However, the kingdom has expressed hesitance due to the unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict and concerns over the right-wing government in Israel. The visit comes after Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to Saudi Arabia last month, where similar discussions took place.
