Two years into President Biden’s term, negotiations between the US and Saudi Arabia for the establishment of diplomatic relations with Israel were halted due to the Israel-Hamas war. However, efforts to revive the deal are underway, with the main elements including a U.S.-Saudi mutual defense pact and cooperation on a civilian nuclear program in Saudi Arabia. Despite progress, Israeli leaders have not shown willingness to join the agreement. The potential three-way grand bargain envisioned by President Biden is at risk due to Israeli resistance and the ongoing conflict with Palestine.
