Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed confidence the Jewish state could reach a landmark normalization agreement with longtime foe Saudi Arabia with the backing of US President Joe Biden.
Such a deal would lead to “reconciliation” between Israel and the Arab world and “advance a genuine peace” with the Palestinians, Netanyahu said during a Wednesday meeting with Biden in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
