Israel and Saudi Arabia normalize relations before 2027?

Riyadh responds to Trump administration: "There will be no normalization with Israel without a Palestinian state" Trump did submit to Congress the text of the civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia with a condition for normalization with Israel, but a source in Riyadh close to the royal family clarifies to @N12News that the Saudi position has not changed: Without a Palestinian state, relations with Israel are not on the agenda ->>

"The Saudi position is clear, consistent and unchanged: there will be no diplomatic relations with Israel without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital," emphasizes the Saudi official who spoke to us. "The civilian nuclear program is part of the partnership between Riyadh and Washington, and it should not be tied to relations with Israel." ->>

We reported in the edition: New details on the effort to include normalization with Saudi Arabia in the American agreement with Riyadh. In recent days, Israel has been exerting significant pressure on the American administration to include the issue of normalization with Saudi Arabia in the framework of the understandings surrounding the civil nuclear agreement. According to sources familiar with the matter, for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this is not only a strategic move but also a significant political goal. According to the same sources, Netanyahu says in closed conversations that he is interested in achieving the "next big thing" - a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia even before the elections. The issue of the Saudi civil nuclear program also came up in the Prime Minister's meeting with President Donald Trump, and according to a senior political source, it was Trump who linked the issue to the expansion of the Abraham Accords, "and it's good that it did." Netanyahu himself hinted at this before leaving for Washington, when he said that one of the goals of his visit was to "expand the circle of peace." Expanding the Abraham Accords is one of Trump's flagship foreign policy goals, and Jerusalem is trying to leverage this ambition. Furthermore, President Trump still dreams of winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and achieving this goal could significantly help his chances.

URGENT US talks with Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel - Waltz

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to name the countries that are likely to join the Abraham Accords in an interview with Fox News on Sunday, August 25, saying that revealing the names of these countries could reduce the likelihood of them joining. In another part of the interview about a possible agreement with Saudi Arabia, Netanyahu said that US President Donald Trump was right that Saudi Arabia would receive a civilian nuclear program in exchange for normalizing relations with Israel. He emphasized that this program must be "civil" and added that Israel and the US government do not want a military nuclear program for Saudi Arabia. The Israeli Prime Minister also warned that if the Islamic Republic attacks Israel, either directly or through its proxy forces, with ballistic missiles, drones or suicide drones, it would make a "big mistake." He said that in such circumstances, Israel's response would be "very, very decisive."

Trump Demands Saudi Arabia Normalize Relations With Israel as Part of Nuclear Deal

It should be noted that Saudi Arabia has demanded - even recently - real progress on the Palestinian issue as part of any normalization with Israel.

Live: The Saudi government’s Center for International Communication did not immediately respond to a request for comment on President Trump's latest statement about the nuclear agreement signed Wednesday. Saudi officials have repeatedly stated that they will not recognize Israel without a pathway toward a Palestinian state.

Live: President Trump said Thursday that the United States’ recently announced nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia hinged on the Gulf kingdom’s willingness to join the Abraham Accords, appearing to condition an agreement on Riyadh’s willingness to open diplomatic relations with Israel. Trump’s statement, shared on Truth Social, followed concerns in Israel over the deal, including that it could fuel a regional arms race and that it was being sidestepped in the process. It could also create a major road block to the deal itself, as Saudi officials have repeatedly stated that they will not recognize Israel without a pathway toward a Palestinian state.

Trump says Saudi Arabia has to joint Abraham Accords, normalizing relations with Israel, as part of the civilian nuclear deal

If the reports are indeed accurate and Trump has approved a civilian uranium enrichment agreement with Saudi Arabia, it is difficult to overstate how severe a blow this is to Israel. During 2023, when talk of normalization with Saudi Arabia was hot, one of the clauses that Israel insisted on was that uranium enrichment for Saudi Arabia would not be implemented except in the event of complete and complete normalization with Israel. The Biden administration was aware of this demand from Israel, so it was also clear to the Saudis that this was a piece of candy that they would only receive after normalizing relations with Israel. And now, Trump is also kicking these agreements. Unless in a week, month or two there is an announcement of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel and all of this was an introduction, then all the claims can be erased. But if this does not happen, then this is a very severe political and security blow to the State of Israel under Netanyahu's leadership. Very disturbing and a big miss. [in reply to: While you were sleeping: US President Donald Trump has officially approved a historic agreement with Saudi Arabia - which will provide it with a civilian nuclear program and open the door to enriching uranium on its territory. This was reported tonight by the "Wall Street Journal" from administration sources, who claimed that Trump gave the green light to the agreement late last week, and it is expected to be signed today]

Assaf Rosenzweig New York Times report: Trump decided to separate the agreement to establish a civilian nuclear facility in Saudi Arabia from the condition that it recognize the State of Israel and normalize relations with it. This idea was at the heart of the Biden administration's plans, but since the October 7 massacre, it has waned.
