Saudi Arabia has conveyed to the US that it is ready to discuss joining the Abraham Accords, but with two conditions: the replacement of Prime Minister Netanyahu after the elections and the reversal of Finance Minister Smotrich's policies in Judea and Samaria, according to a report by Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom).
Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom) reports that Saudi Arabia has conveyed messages to the United States expressing readiness to rejoin discussions on the Abraham Accords, contingent on two conditions: the replacement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the upcoming elections, and the reversal of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's policies in Judea and Samaria. The report, attributed to unnamed sources, has not been independently verified. Saudi Arabia was a key potential signatory to the Abraham Accords before the process stalled. The demand to replace Netanyahu and cancel Smotrich's moves represents a significant political precondition. The Zioneer has separately reported on ongoing diplomatic efforts with Iran and Lebanon, which remain on separate tracks.
