The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, met with the White House National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan, to discuss the possibility of normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia. This comes after Israel established ties with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco as part of the Abraham Accords in 2020.

The Israeli leader has previously expressed his desire for Saudi Arabia to join the list of nations in these accords.

The talks also included discussions on efforts to limit Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence, with Netanyahu thanking Sullivan for President Biden’s commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
