Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed on Monday his intention to pursue "peace" agreements with additional Arab countries following the end of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip and along other support fronts.

"I aspire to continue the process I led a few years ago of the signing of the historic Abraham Accords [Israeli normalization agreements], and achieve peace with more Arab countries," he said.

"Israel", with US support, claimed Netanyahu, particularly eyes signing a normalization agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, once again falsely claiming that such agreements would bring forth "regional stability".

Earlier in February, the Saudi Arabian newspaper Okaz stated that the statement released by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "refuted all the claims promoted by Washington and Tel Aviv to serve their interests" regarding the Israeli-Saudi normalization of ties.

According to the Saudi newspaper, the US-Israeli leaks attempting to create an impression that the Kingdom is open to the idea of normalizing ties with "Israel" while it continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip are meant to influence Saudi Arabian efforts aiming for an immediate ceasefire.

The newspaper added that "the Kingdom's statement cut the road short to any outbidding on the Kingdom's historical position, which is fixed and firm towards the Palestinian cause and its permanent support for the rights of the Palestinian people, strengthening their steadfastness and providing them with a decent life."

The Saudi stance, as expressed in the Foreign Ministry's statement, emphasized the necessity of resolving the Palestinian cause, first and foremost, and establishing an independent Palestinian state, which is considered by the Saudi newspaper as "a historical stance par excellence."

'Israel'-KSA normalization, once so close, 'for now out of reach': CNN

Earlier on October 7, a report by CNN highlighted that “Israel”, along with its adversaries and allies, is witnessing a significant transformation in the region's diplomatic and political landscape. The changes following October 7 are unavoidable, yet, in their current chaotic state, they could still be mitigated. The toll on civilians continues to rise, highlighting how diplomacy could have played a crucial role in saving lives.

A year ago, it appeared that the political landscape of the region was on the brink of change. Driven by US incentives, Saudi Arabia and "Israel" appeared closer than ever to achieving a normalization agreement. But that was pushed after Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. 

For the first time, many Israelis came to the unsettling realization that their entity was no longer the “secure refuge" they had always perceived it to be. The notion that despite any prejudice or persecution they might encounter globally, “Israel” would serve as their safe zone was fundamentally shattered.
