Biden: Saudi Arabia is ready to recognize Israel

Joe Biden announced that Saudi Arabia is ready to improve relations with Israel in exchange for security guarantees from the United States. According to him, the United States will provide weapons to Saudi Arabia in case it is attacked by other "Arab countries". In addition, according to Biden, a civilian nuclear facility will be built in Saudi Arabia under the control of the US military.

Saudi Arabia is ready to improve relations with Israel in exchange for a US security guarantee. US President Joe Biden said this in an interview with Speedy with 360.

"Saudis call me - they want to fully recognize Israel, " said the American president.

It is known that Riyadh openly claims that relations can be improved through an agreement on the creation of a state for the Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu categorically rejects this condition.

Biden revealed some details of the possible deal. He said the United States would arm Saudi Arabia in the event of an attack by other "Arab states - one of which is around the corner." It appears that Biden misspoke and may have been referring to Riyadh's Middle Eastern rival, Iran, which is not an Arab country, TRT reported.

In addition, according to Biden, a civilian nuclear facility will be built in Saudi Arabia under the supervision of the US military "to move away from fossil fuels."

"This is a major turning point for the entire region," the US president said.

While Biden focused on security guarantees and the nuclear program, he failed to discuss the situation with Palestine. At the same time, this statement is the most detailed information provided by a US official about the potential agreement.
