Tom Friedman has the scoop on President Biden’s renewed push for a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The New York Times columnist revealed yesterday that the president’s top national-security advisers, Jake Sullivan and Brett McGurk, have been sent to Saudi Arabia this week for talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Israel’s leadership views a deal as possible, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying, “It could be very close, if the Saudis want it,” during an interview with Fox this week.
