ISRAEL DESPERATE TO NORMALISE WITH SAUDITrump and Netanyahu will announce progress on an Israel-Saudi Arabia peace deal after their Washington meeting.
The Trump administration prioritizes swift normalization with Saudi Arabia, Hamas' removal, and containing Iran’s nuclear ambitions while also pursuing economic benefits for the US. Some believe Trump’s talk of relocating Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan is a negotiation tactic, allowing Saudi Arabia to claim it blocked the move.
Although talks began under Biden, Israel and Saudi Arabia have agreed on most aspects. The deal includes normalization, economic cooperation, US-backed nuclear reactors for Saudi Arabia under strict oversight, and a US-Saudi defence pact. It also contains a US commitment to a “path to a Palestinian state” as a binding declaration coordinated with Israel.
However, the Gaza Genocide remains a major obstacle, with Saudi Arabia demanding a ceasefire before proceeding. Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, is pushing for a ceasefire as part of a prisoner exchange deal to move negotiations forward.
At Tuesday’s meeting, Trump is expected to affirm that Hamas can not remain in power. Netanyahu hopes this will ease domestic pressure, especially from far-right coalition partner Bezalel Smotrich, by showing US support for Israel’s war objectives.

In light of this catastrophic humanitarian situation, we affirm the following:
We declare the Gaza Strip a humanitarian disaster zone, where all means of basic survival are absent. This places an urgent responsibility on the international community and its institutions to intervene immediately and rescue more than 2.4 million people facing death from hunger, thirst, cold, and disease.
We hold the occupation, the Biden administration, and all those who provided any form of political, economic, or military support to the occupation responsible for this humanitarian catastrophe that has befallen our people—an unprecedented crisis in history.
We emphasize that the plan for Gaza’s reconstruction, with its various phases and required needs, has been formulated in partnership between government institutions, civil society organizations, and international institutions. We call for the immediate implementation of urgent relief and housing measures, including the entry of 200,000 tents, 60,000 mobile homes, and all necessary shelter supplies.
The government is currently focused on assessing and documenting the damage, providing services, restoring what can be salvaged of the deteriorating infrastructure, opening main roads, and preparing shelters. However, this effort cannot meet the immense needs of the population, especially given the lack of necessary resources. Therefore, we urge the immediate entry of teams, equipment, and machinery needed to carry out these tasks.
We reject all plans for displacement and forced expulsion. We know that our people, who have thwarted the occupation’s goal of forced displacement despite mass killings, bombings, and destruction, will remain steadfast and will foil any further attempts to impose this plan. We also commend the official and public stances that have rejected these schemes and refused to cooperate with them.
We affirm that we have not and will not hesitate to fulfill our ethical, functional, and national duty in serving our people. We will not allow any administrative vacuum in Gaza. Just as we stood alongside our people during the aggression, sacrificing our best government leaders and personnel, we will stand together in the battle of rebuilding and reconstruction. We also affirm our openness and full readiness to adhere to any nationally agreed-upon framework that our people accept for managing their lives and affairs.
We once again salute our people, who have demonstrated the highest examples of sacrifice and heroism, writing with their blood an epic that history will record in letters of light.
The international community must not close the doors of hope to our people or block their access to a dignified life. Our people deserve a free and honorable life, free from occupation.
Mercy to the martyrs, healing to the wounded, and freedom to the prisoners and Al-Aqsa.
