MBS says Saudi Arabia wants to join Abraham Accords, needs clear path to Palestinian state

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman says Riyadh wants to be part of the Abraham Accords, the framework for normalization deals with Israel, but also wants to secure “a clear path [toward] a two-state solution.”

Bin Salman tells reporters alongside US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office that the pair had a “healthy discussion” on the issue.

“We’re going to work on that to be sure that we can prepare [for] the right situation as soon as possible to have that,” bin Salman says, referring to a pathway to a two-state solution.

Trump interjects, saying, “I don’t want to use the word commitment, but we’ve had a very good talk on the Abraham Accords. We talked about [a] one-state and two-state [solution].” The president says they’ll be discussing the matter further as well, adding that bin Salman has “a very good feeling toward the Abraham Accords.”

“We want peace for the Israelis, we want peace for the Palestinians. We want them to coexist peacefully in the region,” Bin Salman adds, avoiding an announcement or commitment on the issue.
