Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long advocated for normalization with Arab countries as a means to advance peace in the Middle East. His vision, which he reiterated during the Abraham Accords event in September 2020, emphasizes the potential for expanded peace agreements with other Arab states and the ultimate resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Netanyahu's approach diverges from the traditional sequence of peace negotiations, as he seeks to prioritize normalization with countries like Saudi Arabia before reaching a comprehensive deal with the Palestinians. This strategy, however, faces challenges due to differing perspectives on the necessary steps for normalization.
