Talks on normalisation had been put on ice in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 blitz by Palestinian Hamas fighters on southern Israel and Israel's subsequent invasion of Gaza, but conversations have resumed in recent months. "I won't go into detail now. But look, I've been working with the Saudis. They are prepared to fully recognise Israel," Biden said at a fundraiser in New York with former Presidents Obama and Clinton last week.US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on March 21 that the United States and Saudi Arabia had made"good progress" in talks on normalising ties between the kingdom and Israel, without providing a timeline for concluding a deal.
