As part of the US push for progress in normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia this week to hold talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Following the October 7 attack on southern Israel by Palestinian Hamas members and Israel’s indiscriminate military assault on Gaza, normalization talks had been suspended; but, in recent months, they have been reopened.
According to a US official, Sullivan intended to check in on the matter with the crown prince but did not anticipate a significant development.
