Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen expected that a general framework for an agreement on the normalization of diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would be reached by 2024.
Cohen said in an interview with Israeli Army Radio about normalization efforts with Saudi Arabia, “There is progress (in the discussions), but there are gaps that will take some time to fill,” without clarifying the nature of these gaps.
Cohen added, "I believe that by the first quarter of 2024, we will be able to reach a general framework for the agreement with Saudi Arabia."
Israel has been seeking to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia since announcing agreements to normalize its diplomatic relations with the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco in 2020.
