Saudi Crown Prince Expresses Willingness to Recognize Israel Amidst Trump Negotiations
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly told evangelical leader and Trump ally Mike Evans that he is ready to recognize Israel, but his father, King Salman, remains an obstacle. This revelation comes as President Trump seeks to expand the Abraham Accords, which were initially signed during his first term, normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab states. Evans, who met with the crown prince, claims that the prince criticized Palestinian actions and rejected the idea of dividing Jerusalem into two capitals. The Abraham Accords are seen as a significant diplomatic achievement, and Saudi Arabia's potential recognition of Israel is viewed as a major goal in the broader normalization effort.
