Blinken: Saudi Arabia will not refuse to normalize relations with Israel

Saudi Arabia is ready to normalize relations with Israel on condition that Israel ends military operations in the Gaza Strip and presents a clear and credible pathway to a Palestinian state. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said this on Wednesday at a press conference in Tel Aviv within the framework of his Middle East trip.  

“When I saw the crown prince in Saudi Arabia just a couple of days ago, he repeated to me his desire and determination to pursue normalization,” Blinken said.
