In his speech to the UN, Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of progress towards “historic peace” between Israel and Saudi Arabia. This statement follows comments by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who mentioned a rapprochement between the two countries. This normalization of Israeli-Arab relations could have major consequences for the stability of the region, notably by strengthening the possibilities for peace with the Palestinians and encouraging other Arab countries to follow the example. However, challenges persist, such as the issue of Palestinian rights and the Iranian nuclear threat. This development requires continued attention.
