Potential Peace Deal: Israel, Saudi Arabia, and America's Role in Reshaping the Middle East
The Palestinian Authority (PA) is seeking a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia that is contingent on Israel halting unilateral actions in the West Bank, such as settlement construction and military raids. In exchange, the PA is prepared to halt its own unilateral actions and abandon investigations against Israel in international forums. The PA has also proposed other measures, including US recognition of Palestinian statehood and the transfer of West Bank territory to Palestinian control. The PA's willingness to engage in negotiations highlights its desire for progress, even if it falls short of full statehood. The PA is engaging with Saudi Arabia and the Biden administration, and is awaiting updates on the talks.
