Saudi Arabia renewed contacts for signing a defense alliance agreement with the United States, which it froze following the war between Israel and Hamas, Bloomberg reported, citing sources familiar with the talks.
According to the sources, talks on the matter took place this month in the city of Al-Ula in northwestern Saudi Arabia, and were attended by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and several U.S. senators.
The defense alliance was supposed to be included as part of a package deal, which would include, among other things, normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia. (Ynet)
Negotiating teams from the U.S. and Iran could return to Islamabad later this week, five sources said on Tuesday, days after the highest-level talks between the two countries in decades ended without a breakthrough.
The deadline passed on Monday for the start of a U.S. military blockade of ships leaving Iran's ports, and Tehran threatened to retaliate against ports of its Gulf neighbours after weekend talks on ending the war broke down.
Israeli troops launched an attack on Monday to seize a key town in south Lebanon from Hezbollah fighters holed up there, pressing the war on the Iran-backed group on the eve of rare talks between Israeli and Lebanese government envoys.
