Israeli President Isaac Herzog, in an interview with Al Arabiya English, called for the normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. This request comes as Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and other Palestinian areas continue.<\/p>\n
Herzog claimed that Tel Aviv’s goal is “peaceful coexistence” with regional countries. Without mentioning the ongoing military operations and persistent attacks on Gaza, he emphasized that normalizing relations, especially with Saudi Arabia, is a top priority for the Israeli regime.<\/p>\n
Herzog also praised Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, expressing respect for him and hoping to meet with him. He added that after Saudi Arabia, Syria could be among the next targets in the process of normalizing relations.<\/p>\n
These statements come amid ongoing Israeli military attacks on Gaza, with reports of continuing Palestinian civilian casualties. Despite this situation, Saudi officials have previously indicated that they might consider moving towards normalization if certain conditions are met, a stance that has sparked widespread criticism and reactions in regional public opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
