The announcement of an end to the war and a return to normalcy could be the spark that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2024\/01\/27\/saudileaks-exposes-secret-saudi-israeli-alliance-unveiling-dangerous-roles-of-crown-prince-mohammed-bin-salman\/\">Mohammed<\/a> bin Salman has long awaited to transition from covert dealings to overt normalization with Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The new agreement, coinciding with the anticipated return of Donald Trump to the American political scene, opens the door wide for a likely normalization scenario between Riyadh and Tel Aviv. Trump, considered the primary architect of the Abraham Accords, played a decisive role in bridging views between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
