Blinken: ‘Intensive work’ done with Saudis on Israel normalization; not seen Israeli plan to protect Rafah civilians

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the US and Saudi Arabia have done intensive work together over the last month on Israeli-Saudi normalization.

“The work that Saudi Arabia, the United States have been doing together in terms of our own agreements, I think, is potentially very close to completion,” Blinken says in Riyadh, during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum.

Blinken says he has not yet seen a plan from Israel on a Rafah offensive that would protect civilians.
