ROPES-AGSIW Webinar: Is a U.S.- Brokered Deal Between Israel and Saudi Arabia Possible?

Get ready for an in-depth exploration of a potential game-changing diplomatic development! The U.S. administration under President Joseph R. Biden Jr. is reportedly in pursuit of a groundbreaking triangular grand bargain involving Israel and Saudi Arabia. This ambitious endeavour aims to secure formal security commitments, civilian nuclear energy support, and advanced weaponry access for Saudi Arabia in exchange for Riyadh's normalization of relations with Israel and alignment away from China.

However, the path to this historic agreement is laden with questions. Is Congress prepared to greenlight new defense commitments in the Middle East and for Saudi Arabia? Most crucially, is Israel ready to make concessions on West Bank settlements, and annexation to pave the way for this monumental diplomatic breakthrough?

Please tune to ROPES and Arab Gulf States Institute (AGSIW) webinar with participation of an Israeli, a Saudi and an American experts as we dive into these pressing questions and examine the readiness of the involved parties for what could be a transformative geopolitical shift.
