The Biden administration's negotiations with Saudi Arabia and Israel for a peace agreement and broader mega-deal were derailed by the Hamas attacks on October 7.
Before the attacks, MBS believed a mega-deal was only politically feasible under Biden, indicating a strategic patience tied to U.S. leadership.
Saudi Arabia's call for a Palestinian state in response to developments in Gaza and Lebanon rendered the proposed mega-deal unfeasible for both Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Negotiations included discussions on a U.S.-Saudi defense treaty and a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement, aiming for Senate ratification amidst geopolitical complexities.
