Saudi Arabia has reportedly told the US it is prepared to return to discussions on the Abraham Accords on two conditions: the replacement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the reversal of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's policies in Judea and Samaria, according to Israeli media reports.
The Zioneer reported earlier this evening (19:45) that Saudi Arabia had conveyed messages to the US expressing hope for a Muslim Brotherhood-led government in Israel, while also stating readiness to discuss the Abraham Accords. The latest report, arriving at 20:47, specifies two conditions for such discussions: the replacement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the reversal of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's policies in Judea and Samaria. The reports, attributed to Israeli media, have not been independently confirmed. No official response has been issued from Jerusalem, Riyadh, or Washington. This development comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to expand the Abraham Accords, which have stalled since the outbreak of the Gaza war in 2023.
