NEW YORK, Sept 23 — Saudi Arabia and Israel voiced optimism Wednesday that they were moving closer to a historic normalisation of ties as Iran — their common foe — accused the kingdom of betraying the Palestinians through the US-led effort.
“If you and I, 10 years ago, were talking about normalisation with Saudi Arabia, I think we’d look at each other like, ‘Who’s been drinking what?’” Biden — himself a teetotaller — said of Israel and the strictly dry kingdom. Biden has publicly criticised Netanyahu for overhauling Israel’s judiciary, a step seen by domestic critics as undermining democracy, and alluded to the concerns again as he received him in New York rather than at the White House.Biden’s relationship has been even worse with Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whom the president once vowed to treat as a “pariah” over human rights.
“For us, the Palestinian issue is very important. We need to solve that part,” he said. “We need to ease the lives of the Palestinians.” Saudi Arabia has also been seeking security guarantees, including reportedly a treaty, with the United States in return for normalising with Israel, the region’s only nuclear weapons state — even if an undeclared one.Iran denies seeking a nuclear weapon and has repaired relations with Saudi Arabia in recent months through talks led by China and through the easing of a proxy conflict in Yemen.
“We believe that a relationship between regional countries and the Zionist regime would be a stab in the back of the Palestinian people and of the resistance of the Palestinians,” Raisi said.
