Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met to discuss a broad bilateral agreement and Israel’s war in Gaza, the Saudi state news agency reported on Sunday.
The meeting in the Saudi city of Dhahran reviewed “the semi-final version of the draft strategic agreements between the two countries, which are almost being finalized,” a statement said.
They also discussed the need to find a “credible track for bringing about the two-state solution” for Israel and the Palestinians, stop the war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza and facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid, the statement further said.
Earlier on Friday, the White House said that Sullivan would visit Saudi Arabia and Israel to discuss bilateral and regional matters, including Gaza and efforts to achieve lasting peace and security in the region.
Washington and Riyadh have been discussing US security guarantees and civilian nuclear assistance as part of a broader deal that the US hopes would lead to normalizing Saudi-Israeli relations.
The US and Saudi Arabia have been seeking to finalize the nuclear agreement, Reuters reported early this month.
