Date

About the event
As regional dynamics continue to evolve, the future of Saudi-Israeli relations remains a consequential question for the Middle East and the United States. On September 24, AGSI hosted a private roundtable with AGSI Non-Resident Fellow Aziz Alghashian. The roundtable examined the state of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, Saudi Arabia’s strategic calculations, and the prospects for a normalization agreement. The discussion also considered the future of a two-state solution, U.S. policy and security guarantees, Saudi domestic and regional priorities, and how the war with Iran and recent regional developments may have altered the prospects for closer Saudi-Israeli ties.
