“Saudi Arabia has taken a small step toward normalizing relations with Israel by agreeing to allow Israeli planes to fly between the two countries, President Biden said on Friday — a new example of the growing ties between Israel and the Arab world after decades of diplomatic isolation,” the New York Times reports.
Wall Street Journal: “Allowing flights from Israel to fly over Saudi airspace marked another move in a broader effort to normalize relations between the two countries that Mr. Biden has pushed during his Middle East trip. The two countries see a shared threat posed by Iran, which the president emphasized repeatedly during the trip, though Saudi Arabia maintains it won’t normalize relations without a solution to the Palestinian issue.”
