Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir is reported to have met with American Jewish leaders several weeks ago, telling them that formal ties between his country and Israel are in the works, although the process will take time.

“The direction of Saudi-Israeli relations is normalization, but it will take more time and we must not put the cart before the horse,” Al-Jubeir was quoted as saying in an official document obtained by i24NEWS.

“Israel and other Gulf states have been gradually normalizing for years. The process must be allowed to mature.”
