Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister to visit U.S. over Saudi deal
(Worthy News) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly sending his Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer to Washington, next week, for talks with U.S. officials about a potential normalization deal with Saudi Arabia.
According to Walla! News, three senior Israeli and U.S. officials said Dermer will discuss Washington’s diplomatic efforts to obtain a package deal with the Saudi kingdom that would include Riyadh recognizing the Jewish state.
Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Saudi Arabia agreed to the “broad contours” of a deal to recognize Israel in exchange for concessions to the Palestinians, U.S. security guarantees, and civilian nuclear help. It said American officials were cautiously optimistic that within the next year, they could work out the finer details of what would be “the most momentous Middle East peace deal in a generation.” [ Source: i24 (Read More…) ]
