At center of diplomatic intrigue, Israeli envoy pursues Saudi prize
Briefly

Following Donald Trump's election, Israeli adviser Ron Dermer met with Trump and associates to discuss improving U.S.-Israeli relations and potential normalization with Saudi Arabia. Despite initial hopes for a significant agreement, the current war in Gaza has created tensions, hindering progress. The Saudis, though supportive of Israel against militant groups, are alarmed by the conflict, complicating Dermer's decades-long diplomatic efforts to strengthen ties with the Arab world.
Such an agreement would be a crowning achievement for Dermer, who has devoted much of his career...to securing ties with Saudi Arabia.
Israel's devastating war in Gaza has alarmed much of the Arab world and undercut momentum toward a deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
