FREEPORT, Maine - US President Joe Biden said on Friday a deal may be on the way with Saudi Arabia after talks that his national security adviser had with Saudi officials in Jeddah aimed at reaching a normalisation in relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
“There’s a rapprochement maybe under way,” Mr Biden told contributors to his 2024 re-election campaign at an event in Freeport, Maine.US officials have sought for months to reach what would be a historic agreement between the long-time adversaries but the Saudis have been resistant. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, in a piece published on Thursday, said Mr Biden was considering whether to pursue a US-Saudi mutual security pact that would involve Saudi Arabia normalising relations with Israel.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan, one of Mr Biden’s most trusted aides, was in Jeddah this week with Middle East envoy Brett McGurk discussing the possibility of a normalisation deal, White House officials said. US officials see a potential deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia as possible after the administration of former president Donald Trump reached similar agreements between Israel and Morocco, Sudan, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
