U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on his fifth trip to the Middle East since October 7, has been met with a firm stance from Saudi Arabia regarding the normalization of relations with Israel. Following his visit to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Qatar, Blinken arrived in Israel. The Saudi Crown Prince reiterated the kingdom's interest in continuing the normalization process with Israel, but the Saudi Foreign Ministry has made it clear that diplomatic relations with Israel will not be established unless two conditions are met: the recognition of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and the cessation of Israeli aggression in Gaza. This position has been widely reported by news outlets and was also communicated to the Biden administration. Additionally, Saudi Arabia has called on the permanent members of the UN Security Council to recognize these conditions as essential for any future diplomatic engagement with Israel.
