US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has postponed a recent proposed trip to Saudi Arabia. He was going to be there to clinch the American end of a potential Saudi-Israel deal. This was a big talking point for a number of years. But then the October 7th terror attack happened in Israel. And things have gone into a downward spiral between Tel Aviv and Riyadh.With the war in Gaza ongoing and the U.S. presidential election just seven months away, White House officials admit there’s a slim chance they can pull off this historic peace agreement.The White House continues to work toward a U.S.-Saudi defence treaty and US support for a Saudi civilian nuclear program.Netanyahu would then face a choice: If he agrees, he could broker a historic peace deal with Saudi Arabia. If he says no, he could be exposed as a rejectionist and lose whatever American support he still has left.On Crux Decode, is a Saudi-Israel deal still possible? What are the chances that Netanyahu will back it? If he does, would that be the end of his right wing coalition in power. And if doesn’t, will he risk losing the support of Israel’s biggest ally, America?
