The full normalization of diplomatic ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia is likely to take time and unfold in a series of smaller steps rather than the sweeping agreements signed with other Arab states, Israel’s deputy foreign minister Idan Roll said on Monday.
No announcement on normalization is expected before US President Joe Biden arrives in Saudi Arabia later this week, according to Roll.
