Saudi Arabia Says No Israel Normalization Without Palestinian State

Saudi Arabia has signaled that it will not normalize relations with Israel unless a clear, irreversible path to a Palestinian state is established, responding to U.S. President Trump’s call for Riyadh to sign the Abraham Accords. A senior Saudi political source said the kingdom would not move ahead on normalization without that condition. Trump had urged both Saudi Arabia and Qatar to join the Abraham Accords, the U.S.-brokered framework for Arab-Israeli normalization. The Saudi response underscores that any diplomatic breakthrough remains tied to the Palestinian issue.
