Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he thinks peace with Saudi Arabia “is going to happen,” APA reports citing CNN.
“I think peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia is not only feasible, I think it’s going to happen,” he said at the White House on Tuesday, adding that it would have happened during US President Donald Trump’s first term if they’d had another six months.
Just weeks before Hamas launched its October 7 attack on Israel in 2023, Saudi Arabia had said it was inching closer to normalizing diplomatic ties with the Jewish state.
Netanyahu on Tuesday said he could not guess how peace with Saudi Arabia will be achieved, but said he and the Saudi leadership are committed to achieving it.
“I think we’ll succeed,” he said.
