Media: Israeli Prime Minister is not seeking to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia for the time being

On August 5, according to Israel's Channel 12, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided not to seek a potential normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia until the US Presidential Election in November. Netanyahu's decision comes at a time when the political situation in the United States is rapidly changing, considering that it may be more advantageous to wait and see whether Republican presidential candidate Trump is elected. A week ago, an Israeli official told reporters at a briefing in Washington that normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia could still be reached before the November presidential election, and Netanyahu discussed the matter with US President Joe Biden during a meeting at the White House.
