Netanyahu's office said Saudi Arabia's participation in the U.S.-brokered accords would mark a major breakthrough for regional peace and stability.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has described the prospect of Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords as "a historic leap forward for peace in the Middle East," following remarks by United States President Donald Trump linking a proposed civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Riyadh to the kingdom's recognition of Israel.
In a statement on Thursday, Netanyahu's office said Saudi Arabia's participation in the U.S.-brokered accords would mark a major breakthrough for regional peace and stability.
The statement came after President Trump said a newly announced civilian nuclear cooperation agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia would only move forward if Riyadh normalised diplomatic relations with Israel by joining the Abraham Accords.
According to earlier reports by Al Jazeera, Trump made the remarks on his Truth Social account, where he wrote that the agreement "will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords".
