Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia would be a "giant leap" towards ending the Arab-Israeli conflict.
"We want normalization and peace with Saudi Arabia. We view that as perhaps a giant leap towards ending the Arab-Israeli conflict," Netanyahu said, speaking during a meeting in Jerusalem with U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.
"This agreement could have monumental consequences, historic consequences both for Israel, for Saudi Arabia, for the region and for the world," Netanyahu said.
