A source familiar with Saudi Arabia's position told Kan News that as long as Benjamin Netanyahu serves as prime minister with the current coalition, normalization is not on the agenda. According to the source, "Saudi Arabia wants peace, wants negotiations, wants the Israeli-Palestinian issue to be resolved, based on a two-state solution, but Netanyahu is not there." The source stressed that Saudi Arabia has no personal problem with Netanyahu, but his policy, in their view, does not allow progress. The remarks were made while Riyadh has not yet officially responded to the election results in Israel. The source added that Saudi Arabia has no interest in the identity of the prime minister, but it is important that the next one in the position pursues a solution to the Palestinian issue. The article also mentions that a week ago it was reported that Saudi Arabia acted to unite the Joint List before the elections in order to topple Netanyahu.
