Report: US, Saudi officials agree to ‘broad terms’ of potential Israel normalization deal, though MBS said wary
How odd. Usually both parties in a negotiation are invited to the negotiation.
[IsraelTimes] According to the Wall Street Journal, US and Saudi officials have agreed to "broad terms" for a normalization deal with Israel that will hopefully be hammered out over the course of the coming year.

Citing unnamed US officials, the WSJ says that they hope that the "finer details" of such a deal will be able to be reached although they say the odds are long.

"There’s a work plan to explore the elements of what this would be and test the boundaries of what’s possible," the newspaper quotes a senior US official as saying.

But the report cites Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
...Crown Prince and modernizer of Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
as of 2016. The Turks hate him, so he must be all right, despite the occasional brutal murder of Qatar-owned journalists...
as saying that he is unlikely to rush into a deal with the current hardline Israeli government, and that he is "not ready" to establish full ties with Israel the way that the UAE did under the Abraham Accords in 2020.

#3 ^ More likely, the Anti-Jooos in the Biden Regime want to insert poison-pill language to make it so unacceptable Israel has to reject it. "Zionist refuseniks!"
