In June 2023, reports emerged that the United States is lobbying heavily for Saudi Arabia to finally recognise Israel. If it were to happen, it would be a huge diplomatic victory for Washington and would have the potential to transform the international relations of the Middle East. But reports suggest that Riyadh is asking for a high price to normalise relations with Israel. So, could it really happen? And just how significant would it really be?
Since it declared independence in 1948, Israel has faced deep hostility from the Arab world and most of the broader community of Muslim states. Indeed, for the first thirty years of its existence, it faced several major attacks from its Arab neighbours, including Saudi Arabia. However, while few Arab states would now consider a war against Israel, many remain implacably opposed to the Jewish state. Even today it is still not recognised by 27 countries. Arguably, the most important of these is Saudi Arabia. As the spiritual heartland of the Islamic faith, it carries significant moral and political sway over many other members of the Arab League. This makes it a valuable prize for the Biden Administration, which has been desperately trying to build on the diplomatic success of the Trump administration, which secured four new recognitions for Israel in 2020, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. But while diplomatic efforts continue, Riyadh appears to be asking for some major concessions in return for recognition.
