He suggested that any formal agreements may be tied to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-welcomes-talibans-announcement-of-3-day-ceasefire\/\" title=\"U.S. welcomes Taliban\u2019s announcement of 3...day ceasefire\">ongoing peace process<\/a> in the region. Hewitt noted that during President Donald TrumpS recent meeting with Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin Salman, a notable $600 billion investment commitment was announced, which he believes could position Saudi Arabia for potential collaboration on the Abraham Accords, particularly given israel&#8217;s technological advancements.<\/p>\n<p>Hewitt emphasized the importance of achieving stability adn quiet in Gaza as a prerequisite for any deals between saudi Arabia and israel. He argued that Saudi Arabia recognizes the necessity of Israeli technology for its future economic and defense strategies, especially as the country seeks to prepare for a post-oil era. while discussions of a potential agreement may take place during Trump&#8217;s Middle East visit, Hewitt indicated that a formal resolution would likely not materialize until the Gaza war concludes.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Saudi Arabia will likely cooperate with Israel once Gaza war ends: Hugh Hewitt<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2119951\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Conservative radio host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hugh-hewitt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Hugh Hewitt<\/a> predicted it is likely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/saudi-arabia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Saudi Arabia<\/a> will work with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Israel<\/a> in the near future, though he suggested such efforts would not take place until peace is achieved in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Gaza Strip<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> met with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3408052\/trump-mixes-business-diplomacy-ethics-concerns-middle-east-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman <\/a>in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, during which the Trump administration announced it had secured <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WhiteHouse\/status\/1922304086881272009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">a $600 billion investment commitment<\/a>.
