Israeli and US officials discuss West Bank, Gaza tensions and Saudi normalization progress.
TL;DR
A senior Biden administration official has criticized the "misreporting" in the Israeli press about US efforts to broker a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The official clarified that an Israel-Saudi agreement was still "no question an end goal" for the Biden administration and that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has also vocalized "that is clearly a thing he's got in mind as a step he wants to move to[ward]." The US still sees interim deals that can be reached with Jerusalem and Riyadh before a formal normalization agreement is signed.
