"US-Saudi Talks Unveil Ambitious Diplomatic Plan for Middle East"
US national security adviser Jake Sullivan held talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Jeddah, as part of an effort to achieve a comprehensive diplomatic breakthrough in the Middle East. The discussions reportedly explored the possibility of a US-Saudi-Israeli-Palestinian understanding, involving a security pact between the US and Saudi Arabia, normalization of Saudi-Israel diplomatic relations, and improvements in the situation of Palestinians. However, experts express skepticism about the feasibility of such a multifaceted agreement, citing political challenges, resistance from Republicans and Democrats in the US, and the reluctance of the Israeli government. Some argue that the exclusion of Palestinian interests and agency undermines the credibility of the proposal.
