In a rare interview with a Saudi-owned outlet, Israeli Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his hopes on Thursday in reaching peace with both Saudi Arabia and the Palestinians, alluding that it would dramatically open the door for peace with the Palestinians.
Netanyahu told Al-Arabiya, a Saudi owned satellite channel based in Dubai, that his goal is to expand the Abraham Accords signed in 2020, and that established normalization of ties between Israel on the one hand and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan on the other. This expansion would include Saudi Arabia, he said.
