Saudi Arabia freezes plans to normalize ties with Israel


The initiative was supported by the United States

Saudi Arabia has decided to freeze US-backed plans to normalize ties with Israel.

The information was confirmed to Reuters by two sources close to Riyadh, indicating a rapid change of heart regarding the kingdom’s foreign policy priorities as the war between Israel and Hamas intensifies.

According to the agency, the conflict also led Riyadh to make an agreement with Iran.

Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman received his first phone call from Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.

The two sources told Reuters there would be a postponement of the US-backed meetings, a key step for Saudi Arabia to secure a defense pact with the Americans.

Before the attack, both Israeli and Saudi leaders had said they were moving toward a deal that could reshape the Middle East. .
