Israel says Saudi recognition would be 'historic' for regional peace

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Thursday that Saudi Arabia's recognition of Israel would be a significant step towards peace in the Middle East.

"Saudi Arabia's joining of the Abraham Accords would be a historic leap forward for peace in the Middle East," Netanyahu's office said after US President Donald Trump announced that a U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal would be contingent on the kingdom recognizing Israel.
