UAE and Saudi officials have expressed a desire for increased security guarantees from the US, similar to those provided to Israel, in exchange for a greater role in the regional security alliance. This request was communicated as part of broader negotiations involving the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. In related discussions, the White House is attempting to persuade Israel to agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state as a condition for normalization with Saudi Arabia. The US has also offered Saudi Arabia additional military support and civilian nuclear power capabilities in exchange for recognizing Israel, with Saudi Arabia indicating that verbal assurances on Palestine are sufficient.
US to Saudi: recognize Israel, and you get a Palestinian state, more military support from the US, and civilian nuclear power. Saudis: Uh, verbal assurances on Palestine are fine. Tell us more about the other stuff. Palestine is a priority of western leftists, Arabs don’t care. https://t.co/xqMrQ5tafs
