Saudi Arabia has not formally accepted Israel, but they're engaged in bilateral negotiations towards normalization, mediated by the United States. These talks gained momentum in 2023, with Saudi Arabia seeking assurances from the US, including ¹ ²:

- *Assistance in Civilian Nuclear Program*: Help in developing a civilian nuclear program

- *US Arms Sales*: Lessening limitations on US arms sales

- *Security Guarantees*: Providing security guarantees

However, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has made it clear that normalization with Israel depends on ² ³:

- *Creation of a Palestinian State*: Establishing an independent Palestinian state

- *End to Gaza War*: Ceasing hostilities in Gaza

The kingdom has been removing anti-Israeli content from textbooks, signaling a more moderate approach. Despite this, a significant majority of Saudis (76%) hold negative views of the Abraham Accords, and 96% believe Arab nations should cut ties with Israel ¹.
