Saudi Arabia nears deal with Israel, potentially ending Gaza conflict and releasing hostages.

Saudi Arabia and Israel are nearing a normalization deal, potentially leading to an end to the Gaza conflict and the release of Hamas-held hostages. Saudi Arabia has reportedly shifted from demanding a concrete Palestinian state to seeking a vague Israeli commitment to a "pathway to a Palestinian state." However, Saudi officials deny these reports, insisting on recognizing a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders before normalizing ties with Israel. This development is seen as a strategic move that aligns with broader U.S. goals in the region.
