Final details on a potential normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia could be worked out as soon as early 2024, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen says

“The gaps can be bridged,” Cohen tells Army Radio. “It will take time. But there is progress.”

“I think there is certainly a likelihood that in the first quarter of 2024, in four or five months, we could be at a point where the details are finalized,” he says of the potential agreement.
