Tehran 6 February _Netanyahu plans to meet with Saudi crown prince before March 2 elections: Report
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_The Hebrew-language Israel Defense magazine, citing sources requesting not to be named, reported on Thursday that efforts are underway for such a meeting to happen in the Saudi capital city of Riyadh before Israeli legislative elections, which are set for March 2.
The report added that the expected meeting falls within the Israeli regime’s attempts to normalize relations with Arab states, which commenced in Oman and then spread to Morocco and Sudan. The attempts are apparently backed by the White House.
Israel Defense further highlighted that Washington wants to advance President Donald Trump's so-called deal of the century on the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which could greatly help him in the US presidential race.
The magazine went on to say that there is a desire among Israeli officials to promote a round of communications with Arab countries, which may help Netanyahu's election campaign.
The report comes as General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of Sudan's ruling council, and Netanyahu recently met in Entebbe, Uganda. The meeting had reportedly been arranged by the United Arab Emirates.
It was only made public when the Israeli premier took to Twitter to claim that an agreement had been reached with Sudan to “begin cooperation that will lead to the normalization of relations.”
