DeSantis asserts that Biden's estrangement of Riyadh makes the Israeli-Saudi agreement challenging


 Republican Governor Ron DeSantis said that US President Joe Biden's alienation of Riyadh makes a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia unlikely on Thursday at the Jerusalem Post and Museum of Tolerance Celebrate the Faces of Israel conference.

“This administration has made a special effort to annoy the Saudis. I believe that Saudi Arabia might accept Israel's existence with the right approach and relationships,” according to DeSantis.

Notably, he gave a speech during the conference, which The Museum of Tolerance also supported. He is currently in the third country on a multi-nation business trip that also covers Japan, South Korea, and the UK.

However, there is a lot of talk that the trip is a lead-up to an announcement that he plans to challenge Biden for the presidency in 2024. However, he has yet to make an announcement, and during a news conference he similarly declined to confirm a 2024 presidential election.

Interestingly, DeSantis has a long history of standing up for Israel, and he has supported both Israeli authority over West Bank settlements and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. He is one of the lawmakers who refers to that area as Judea and Samaria, and on his 2019 visit to Israel, he went to both the Ariel settlement and the Gush Etzion neighborhood of Ariel.

Furthermore, During his news conference, DeSantis brought up that trip, saying that the Palestinians had rejected a proposal for partition in 1947 and that the West Bank had never been home to a Palestinian state
