Palestinian statehood is central to the Israel-Saudi Arabia issue

In Tel Aviv on Tuesday, after visiting Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told reporters that Palestinian statehood should be part of Israel's efforts to normalize relations in the region, including with Saudi Arabia. 

"This sector should be a part of any integration and settlement efforts," he explained, adding that he was told very clearly about this in Saudi Arabia.
