US President Donald Trump has said he hopes that Saudi Arabia will soon join the Abraham Accords, a series of normalisation agreements between Israel and Arab countries, Reuters reports.
“It will be a special day in the Middle East, with the whole world watching, when Saudi Arabia joins us, and you’ll be greatly honouring me and you’ll be greatly honouring all of those people that have fought so hard for the Middle East,” Trump told an investment forum in Riyadh.
Trump said it was his “fervent hope” that Saudi Arabia would soon sign its own normalisation agreement with Israel, adding, “But you’ll do it in your own time.”
