Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that he thinks that peace with Saudi Arabia “will happen.”
“I think peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia is not just viable, I think it will happen,” he said at the White House after a meeting with Trump, adding that she would have happened during the first term of the US President, if he had another six months in office.
A few weeks before Hamas launched the October 7 attack on Israel in 2023, Saudi Arabia said it was approaching the normalization of diplomatic ties with the Jewish state.
However, since Israel launched a Warm War to Hamas in Gaza – which has killed tens of thousands of people, according to Palestinian authorities – Saudi Arabia has been highly critical to the country’s actions.
In November last year, the heir prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman, accused Israel of “collective genocide” in Gaza in some of his strongest criticism of the country since the beginning of the war.
A month earlier, Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister Prince Faisal Bin Farhan, said Becky Anderson of CNN that Saudi Arabia’s perspective normalized relations with Israel was “out of the question” without the Palestinians to receive an independent state.
Netanyahu said on Tuesday that he could not say how peace with Saudi Arabia would be reached, but that he and the Saudi leadership are committed to reaching it.
“I think we’ll be successful,” he added.
