A Saudi source told The Jerusalem Post that Saudi Arabia wants peace talks and a two-state solution to close the Israeli-Palestinian issue, but that normalization will not happen under the current Netanyahu government. The source said, "Netanyahu is not there." The remarks were reported on 2026-11-06 and appear to reflect Riyadh's position on Israeli politics after the October election. The report comes as Israel's coalition talks remain deadlocked and as US-Israel ties face public debate. The source did not describe any formal Saudi decision or new diplomatic step.
