ALBAWABA- The U.S. State Department spokesperson, Matt Miller, announced on Thursday that the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia are on the verge of reaching an agreement on the "bilateral details" of a significant deal aimed at normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
According to Miller's press briefing, while there are still some details to be ironed out, they are confident they can reach an agreement on those specifics very soon.
He emphasized that another aspect of the agreement, outlining a path for establishing a Palestinian state, still requires further discussion, but they are in close dialogue with Saudi counterparts, similar to discussions with other Arab countries Secretary Blinken has met with.
Miller underscored that all elements of the comprehensive deal, which the United States is mediating between Saudi Arabia and Israel, are interlinked, and none will progress without the others.
He elaborated that the potential agreement includes a package of agreements between the United States and Saudi Arabia, normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, and a framework for a two-state solution for the Palestinian people.
Miller emphasized that these components are intertwined and stressed that even if an agreement is reached on the bilateral part of the deal, it will not move forward without the other aspects, including the two-state solution.
He also clarified that there have been no discussions between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about abandoning the bilateral component of the deal.
