Saudi-Israel Peace: Is the US Meddling Again?

Israeli and Saudi officials and leaders are reportedly frustrated with the Biden administration’s insistence on giving the Palestinian issue so much weight in the talks to reach a tripartite agreement between Saudi Arabia, the US, and Israel. Israel Hayom reported this on Monday, citing sources that are informed of the details, that the U.S. administration’s exaggerated obsession with the issue is impeding the process of normalizing ties and halting any breakthroughs.

One of the sources stated that disagreements regarding the central issues on the agenda, including the US-Saudi defense pact and the Saudi nuclear program, are not highly significant and can be overcome.

On the other hand, the source says the American emphasis on the Palestinian issue is so excessive that it can be the thing that collapses the entire process. Saudi officials criticized the US administration’s insistence on the issue as well.

It’s high time for the US to stay out of Israel’s affairs since they bring nothing but a destructive agenda to the table. The terms the US has for peace with any nation with Israel only endangers the security of Israel as a whole and threatens the safety of its population.
