MBS privately tells ally he could recognize Israel today, blocked by his father

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly told evangelical leader Mike Evans that he would recognize Israel today, but said King Salman was the obstacle; the claim, not independently verified by The Jerusalem Post, comes as Trump pushes a broader push for Arab states to join the Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel, linking it to discussions on Iran. Evans described MBS as pro-Israel and critical of the Palestinians, with Riyadh publicly tying recognition to progress on Palestinian issues.
