Saudi Arabia and Qatar are reportedly resisting pressure to join the Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel without a clear pathway toward a Palestinian state. According to Haaretz, Gulf sources said Riyadh's position remains unchanged and tied to the Arab Peace Initiative. A Saudi source described normalisation without meaningful progress on Palestine as unacceptable, while Qatari-linked reports also expressed reservations about any deal lacking Palestinian guarantees. The development presents a challenge to US President Donald Trump's long-standing goal of expanding the Abraham Accords. The reports come amid ongoing regional tensions and continuing conflict in Gaza, with Gulf sources suggesting the current environment is not conducive to major normalization agreements.
