Saudi Arabia may still join the Abraham Accords despite siding with Israel's accusers - the Saudi leadership report remains committed to the normalization of relations with Israel, Gulf analyst Dr. Ahmed Alhouzi told The Jerusalem Post. Earlier on October 25, Saudi Arabia, along with Turkey, Pakistan and Egypt, signed a joint declaration that states Israel as "the fundamental source of instability in the region and beyond." "This indicates that the political and diplomatic conditions surrounding normalization have become much more demanding. The statement reinforces the message that Riyadh is not expected to separate relations with Israel from significant progress in the Palestinian case," said Alkhuzai. The US tried to entice Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, with Trump insisting in July that the US-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement signed at the time was "completely subject" to the Saudis joining the accords. However, Saudi Arabia has so far refrained from joining the Abraham Accords despite pursuing normalization with Israel, and has publicly argued that a Palestinian state remains a condition for formal ties. substack | talk.
