German Foreign Minister Annaleba Baerbock said on Sunday that Saudi Arabia and "Israel" had "not renounced their policy of normalisation" since the war in Gaza broke out.

Baerbock considered that the fact that Saudi Arabia is now intercepting missiles fired by the Yemeni forces at "Israel" underlines this, "and we are grateful for that."

"Saudi Arabia is a key contributor to Israel's security, even these days, and is helping to stem the risk of a regional conflagration," she added.

But this comes despite reports just days after the start of the war that "Saudi Arabia has frozen plans, supported by the United States, to normalize relations with Israel," according to Reuters.

The news agency cited two sources familiar with Riyadh's thinking as saying that Saudi Arabia is postponing US-backed plans to normalize relations with "Israel", signaling a swift reconsideration of its foreign policy goals as the conflict between "Israel" and the Palestinian group Hamas intensifies.

In a separate context, Baerbock announced that Germany is ready to allow sales of Eurofighter jets to Saudi Arabia, having for years blocked arms deals with the Gulf kingdom.

Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain jointly build the jet and each can veto deals. Berlin has blocked one deal, sought by London, since 2018.

"We do not see ourselves, as the German federal government, opposing British considerations on other Eurofighter (sales)," Baerbock told journalists on a trip to the Israeli occupation entity, in which she highlighted the Saudi role in the Middle East crisis since the start of the war in Gaza on October 7.

Berlin has blocked arms sales to Riyadh since the 2018 murder of Saudi-American journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. That includes blocking a deal for 48 Eurofighter jets signed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in London.
