Instead, it will suffice with an announcement supporting the two-state solution, according to high-level sources in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>According to sources, Riyadh is keen on enhancing a deal that would strengthen a broad defense alliance with the United States, similar to the defense agreement the U.S. has with NATO.<\/p>\n<p>In an article in The Washington Post by esteemed journalist David Ignatius, it is emphasized that the window of time for any normalization process between the countries is narrowing, with the threat of war in Gaza looming.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming days, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to make his fifth visit to the Middle East since the start of the conflict.<\/p>\n<h3>Blinken&#8217;s sixth tour since the beginning of the

Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The focus of the U.S. Secretary&#8217;s visit will be the renewal of talks for <a

that the United States and Saudi Arabia recently renewed talks on establishing a broad defense alliance for the first time since October 7.<\/p>\n<p>The United States has also informed Israel that the

months, after which the window of time may close.<\/p>\n<p>Due to Saudi Arabia&#8217;s high defense demands in the deal, the Biden administration needs Senate approval by June, making it challenging to reinforce the deal closer to the presidential elections in early November.<\/p>\n<p>In recent days, the Biden administration appears to be intensifying efforts to promote its regional vision, including normalization between Israel and <a
