President Isaac Herzog welcomes moves to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia, saying he believes the process will succeed.
“I wholeheartedly welcome the important developments regarding the possibility of a historic agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” he says speaking at an event to mark the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War.
“Saudi Arabia is a very important country, and I believe that a relationship based on partnership and friendship with it can be the foundation for historic benefits for Israel and the entire Middle East. This opportunity, of course, depends on many factors, but I hope and believe with all my heart that it will come true,” he says.
