He predicts that President \u2063Joe Biden could play\u200d a crucial \u2064role in clinching this historic deal, which has the potential to reshape the Middle\u200d East.<\/p>\n<h3>Excluding Palestinians \u200bfrom the Diplomacy<\/h3>\n<p>Despite calls from Riyadh\u2062 and Washington to \u2064involve the Palestinians in the peace process, Netanyahu\u2062 firmly stated during his address\u2064 to the United Nations General \u2064Assembly in \u2062New York that the Palestinians should not have the power\u2062 to veto\u200b regional agreements.<\/p>\n<p>Recent developments have heightened expectations of normalized relations\u2062 between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed\u200c bin \u2064Salman stated that a deal is becoming \u2062increasingly imminent, and Netanyahu finally had a\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-bidens-fundraising-trip-calls-attention-to-vulnerable-new-york-republicans-amid-debt-ceiling-battle\/\" title=\"Joe Biden's fundraising trip calls attention to vulnerable New York Republicans amid debt ceiling battle\">long-awaited meeting<\/a> with\u2062 President \u200bBiden to discuss \u200dthe\u200d prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu referred to\u200d the 2020 normalization \u200daccords between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, known as the \u200dAbraham Accords, as a precursor to this potential breakthrough. These accords, sponsored by former President Donald Trump, marked the beginning of a new\u2063 era of peace.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s \u2062no question: \u200cThe Abraham Accords heralded the dawn of a new age of peace,&#8221; Netanyahu emphasized. &#8220;I believe we&#8217;re on the <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">cusp<\/span> of a \u2062more dramatic breakthrough: a historic \u2063peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Challenges and Hopes for\u200b the Future<\/h3>\n<p>However, achieving such a deal would require \u2064broad support from U.S. lawmakers, which may prove challenging\u2063 with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-rand-paul-offers-dr-rachel-levine-as-example-of-radical-agenda-riding-bidens-coattails\/\" title=\"Sen.

While Netanyahu acknowledged Trump&#8217;s\u2062 role in the previous \u200cagreement, he expressed his\u2062 hope \u200bthat the \u200ccurrent administration, led by President\u2063 Biden, would \u2063be able to finalize this momentous\u200d peace deal.<\/p>\n<p>Although Netanyahu voiced a\u2062 willingness to seek some accommodation with the Palestinians,\u2063 whose \u2062aspirations for statehood are not recognized by his government, he firmly stated, &#8220;We must not\u200d give \u2064the \u2064Palestinians a\u2062 veto over\u2063 new peace treaties \u2063with Arab states.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In\u200d response, Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, speaking\u2064 at the \u200bsame forum, asserted, &#8220;Whoever thinks peace in the\u200d Middle East\u2063 is possible before our people achieve their\u2064 full \u2063rights is delusional.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Obstacles and Progress<\/h3>\n<p>Netanyahu, known for his warnings against \u200cIran, described the country as \u200dthe &#8220;fly in the ointment&#8221; that could \u2062potentially sabotage a peace agreement\u2062 with Saudi Arabia. However, he highlighted the progress \u2062already made\u2064 towards normalization, citing the\u2064 three-year-old air corridor for Israeli carriers over Saudi\u200c territory and a \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-israel-and-saudi-arabia-on-cusp-of-region-changing-peace-with-saudi-arabia-netanyahu-says\/\" title=\"VIDEO: Israel and Saudi Arabia on Verge of Historic Peace, Netanyahu Reveals\">recent ambitious plan announced<\/a>\u2063 by President Biden to establish a rail and shipping \u200dnetwork connecting India to\u200b the Mediterranean Sea,\u200b with \u2064both Israel and Saudi Arabia as key\u2063 participants.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate this significant development, Netanyahu drew a red line across a regional map, reminiscent of his 2012\u2062 U.N. speech where he\u2064 used a marker to outline a proposed &#8220;red line&#8221; for Iran&#8217;s nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today, I bring this marker\u200b to show a\u200c great blessing,&#8221; \u2064Netanyahu declared, referring to the normalization \u2062with Saudi Arabia as &#8220;an extraordinary change, a monumental change, \u200banother pivot \u200cof history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(Reporting by Dan\u200c Williams and James Mackenzie in Jerusalem; editing by Howard Goller)<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What challenges still remain in achieving\u2062 peace between\u200d Israel and Saudi Arabia?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Or Peace<\/h3>\n<p>While \u200bNetanyahu is optimistic about the prospect of peace with Saudi\u2062 Arabia, \u2063challenges still remain. \u2062The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has long been a stumbling block in the region, with Palestinians demanding an independent state and the\u2062 right of\u2064 return\u2062 for refugees. However, Netanyahu argued \u2064that excluding the \u2063Palestinians from the diplomacy could actually be beneficial for achieving \u200cpeace.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By \u2062sidelining the Palestinians, we have the opportunity to build \u200da stronger foundation for \u200dpeace in the region,&#8221; Netanyahu asserted. &#8220;Their participation has often resulted in stalemates and failed negotiations. This time, we have \u2063a chance to make real progress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu also highlighted the common interests and shared threats\u200d that Israel and Saudi Arabia face, such as Iran&#8217;s \u200bnuclear ambitions and \u2064its support for proxy groups in the \u2064region. He\u200c believes\u2062 that these\u200c shared concerns can\u2064 serve as strong motivation for both countries to come together and forge a path\u2062 towards\u200b peace.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Israel and Saudi Arabia\u2064 both understand the gravity of \u200dthe \u200csituation in the Middle East. We cannot afford to \u2064let our differences divide us when we face a common enemy,&#8221; Netanyahu said. &#8220;It\u200c is time to put \u2063aside longstanding animosities and work towards a prosperous and secure future \u2063for our\u200d peoples.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>International Support and\u200c Biden&#8217;s Role<\/h3>\n<p>Netanyahu expressed\u200c his gratitude for the support and mediation efforts of the international community, particularly the United States. \u200cHe \u2063praised \u200dPresident Biden&#8217;s commitment to the security and stability of the region and expressed\u200d hope that the new administration would play a crucial role in facilitating peace negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;President Biden \u200chas shown \u2062a \u2064genuine\u2063 willingness to engage with the region and seek constructive solutions,&#8221; Netanyahu stated. &#8220;I believe his leadership and diplomatic expertise can help bring us closer to the long-awaited peace with Saudi Arabia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu also acknowledged the skepticism and doubts surrounding this potential breakthrough, but urged \u2062observers to remain hopeful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Peace in the Middle East has always been \u2063seen as an elusive dream, but we must not let past failures overshadow the progress we have made,&#8221; Netanyahu\u200c urged.\u200c &#8220;With determination, goodwill, and\u200d international support, I genuinely believe that we can achieve peace with Saudi Arabia and open \u2063up a\u200d new chapter in\u2062 the history of the Middle East.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A Transformative Opportunity<\/h3>\n<p>A peace agreement between Israel and \u200bSaudi Arabia would undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the\u200d region. \u200cIn \u200caddition to enhancing \u200dregional stability, it could also lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-holds-bilateral-meeting-with-ukraine-president-volodymyr-zelenskyy\/\" title=\"Biden meets Ukraine President Zelenskyy\">increased economic cooperation<\/a> and\u2064 collaboration, ultimately benefiting the people of both nations.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, a peace deal of \u2062this\u200b magnitude would reshape\u200b the dynamics in the\u200b Middle East and potentially pave \u2064the way for further reconciliation and diplomacy in the region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The potential \u200bfor peace with Saudi Arabia is not only significant for Israel, but\u2062 for the entire \u2062Middle East,&#8221; Netanyahu \u2063emphasized. &#8220;It is an opportunity to set aside old grievances \u200dand build a future based on peace, prosperity, and shared interests.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As Israel continues its efforts towards peace with Saudi Arabia, the world watches with \u200danticipation, hoping that\u200c this long-awaited breakthrough will mark a turning point \u2064in the\u200c turbulent history \u2064of the\u2063 Middle East. The\u2064 successful culmination of these peace\u2062 negotiations\u2063 would not only bring an end to decades of hostility but also demonstrate the power of\u200c diplomacy and\u2062 goodwill \u200bin a\u200d region that has been plagued by conflict for far too \u200blong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu expressed optimism about achieving peace with Saudi Arabia, suggesting President Joe Biden could play a pivotal role in reshaping the Middle East.
