Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Sunday that U.S. President Donald Trump was set to meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and possibly Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,

President Trump wants to broker normal ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel, but his proposal to transfer Palestinians out of Gaza just made that a lot harder.

The Saudi response was swift — reiterating Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s demands for an independent Palestinian state as part of any normalization agreement and rejecting the “infringement on the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people” or “attempts to displace” them from their land.

The kingdom has also reoriented its spending from overseas into its domestic market. One indicator of this was that in 2024, the UAE’s Mubadala surpassed Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) as the world’s most active sovereign wealth fund.

Saudi Arabia will not establish formal relations with Israel unless Palestine is recognised as an independent state, it has announced.

Saudi Arabia have recently and reportedly said US that there will be not be any sort of ties with the country Israel without the Palestinian state and latest reports are giving rise to a speculation that if the close friend of US President Donald Trump named Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has actually ended up ditching him.
