The United States is close to finishing a security pact with Saudi Arabia that would be offered if it makes peace with Israel, AFP quotes Secretary of State Antony Blinken as saying.

“The work that Saudi Arabia, the United States have been doing together in terms of our own agreements, I think, is potentially very close to completion,” Blinken said in Riyadh.
