According to the sources, there would therefore have been a postponement of the US-backed talks on normalization with Israel, a step that Riyadh considers essential for the conclusion of a defense pact with the United States, the real trophy of the agreement.
Plans to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel Until Hamas stormed Israel, Israeli and Saudi leaders had said they were moving steadily toward a deal that could transform the Middle East. And Saudi Arabia had assured that it would not allow the defense pact with the US to collapse even if Israel did not make significant concessions to the Palestinians in establishing their own state. However, an approach that leaves out the Palestinians now risks unleashing Arab anger in the region.
A first source familiar with the Saudi position reported that talks with Israel cannot continue for the time being and that the issue of Israeli concessions to the Palestinians must be a higher priority when talks resume. This suggests that Riyadh has not given up on the idea of normalization, while the government has not officially responded to requests for comment.
