Saudi Arabia, the world’s most powerful Muslim country, is in talks to establish diplomatic relations with the occupying Israel. Basically, the United States wants to create bilateral relations between Saudi-Israel. They believe that this will restore stability in the Middle East.

If Saudi Arabia builds relations with Israel, the US will guarantee Saudi security.

However, Saudi Arabia has stipulated that if Israel wants to establish diplomatic relations with them, they must establish an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, withdraw all Israeli troops from Gaza, and stop illegal settlements in the Palestinian territories.

Columnist Thomas Friedman said this information in a column written in the New York Times.

He wrote, “Israeli-Saudi relations will be established if only Saudi terms are accepted. Their conditions are: withdraw from Gaza, stop settlements and establish an independent Palestinian state within three to five years.”

However, this columnist said that the chances of this agreement being reached under the current Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, are very low. But the deal will happen whenever a government comes to Israel willing to accept the Saudi conditions.

As part of the deal, the US will provide security to Saudi Arabia. Besides, they will also help them in nuclear infrastructure.
