flag Saudi Arabia ends U.S. defense pact, seeks Israel normalization with steps toward Palestinian state.

flag Saudi Arabia has abandoned a comprehensive defense treaty with the U.S. in exchange for normalizing relations with Israel, opting instead for a more limited military cooperation deal. flag This shift follows public anger over Israel's actions in Gaza, making Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman demand concrete steps toward a Palestinian state for normalization. flag The new agreement would expand joint military exercises and foster defense firm partnerships without requiring a binding mutual defense pact, potentially bypassing congressional approval before President Biden leaves office.
