Washington: US Secretary of State Anthony Blanken has said that Saudi Arabia and Israel should restore their relations. This is in the real national security interest of America.
According to international media reports, Blanken said in a speech to the pro-Israel lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee AIPAC that the United States has a genuine national security interest in normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
“We believe we can do it and in fact we should play an integral role in taking this project forward,” he said. President Joe Biden’s administration is confident that full Saudi-Israeli diplomatic relations can be restored quickly and easily.
The foreign minister also said that we are committed to working towards this, including my visit to Jeddah and Riyadh this week.
