Israeli Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu says that he will seek to establish full diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia “as soon as' he assumes office
Netanyahu said he would seek peace with the Palestinians, perhaps through discreet negotiations. But he refused to endorse a two-state solution, calling instead for “a fresh view” and creative thinking.
He also expressed support for an arrangement proposed by the Trump administration that was adamantly rejected by the Palestinians.“I believe in open covenants, secretly arrived at or discreetly arrived at,” he said. During Netanyahu’s previous 12-year stint as prime minister, which ended last year, peace talks ground to a halt.
Saudi Arabia does not have diplomatic relations with Israel and opposes normalisation with Tel Aviv until it ends its decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territories. It, however, allowed its airspace to be used for aviation between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, both of which established ties with Israel in September 2020.Netanyahu's deadline to form the Israeli government ends on December 21.
