A senior Israeli official told reporters on Friday (March 10) that the normalization agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran was the result of the “weakness” of the US and the previous Israeli government.
“There was a feeling of US and Israeli weakness and this is why the Saudis started looking for new avenues.
It was clear that this was going to happen,” the unnamed official said while traveling with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Rome, according to Axios.
The official said the Saudi-Iran deal, which was brokered by China, should not impact Israel’s efforts to normalize with Riyadh.
But a major aspect of the Israeli plans to open up relations with Gulf Arab states is to form an anti-Iran alliance in the region, which seems more unlikely due to the Saudi-Iran rapprochement.
