Pak Sahafat – The Hill, an American news website, stated in an analysis that the United States will not only benefit from the normalization of relations between Riyadh and the Zionist regime, but it will also have to pay costs by giving concessions to Saudi Arabia.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency’s report on Tuesday, the Hill news website wrote in this analysis by John Hoffman, a foreign policy analyst from the American think tank “The CATO Institute”: US Secretary of State Anthony Blaken said at a conference hosted by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee on June 5th that the Biden government is committed to mediating to establish official political relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia and emphasized that Washington has real national security interests in promoting the normalization of relations between the two.
The analyst of Kito think tank added: Blinken is wrong, the US (actually) has a little interest in this field and may pay a lot of money for doing this mediation to normalize relations between the two sides.
This report adds: Blinken’s new statements are mentioned while, according to what has been heard, the Biden government is trying to normalize these relations by the end of 2023 and before the start of the 2024 presidential elections in the United States.

Hill wrote: In exchange for normalizing relations with Israel (the Zionist regime), Saudi Arabia has pressured the Biden administration for more formal security commitments and also to help develop its civilian nuclear program known as the ability to independently enrich uranium.
The analyst of this American think tank wrote on the Hill news website: (currently) there is no strategic incentive for Washington to grant political concessions or increase security obligations to Saudi Arabia for the official normalization of relations with Israel. This is while the informal relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia have grown significantly in the last 2 decades.
This analysis further adds: Saudi Arabia does not need an incentive to officially normalize its relations with the Israeli side, although these two do not have official political relations with each other, but it does not prevent them from working together and in line with common strategic goals; Because from the point of view of strategic interests, it is necessary to do this.
The author of this analysis writes: Therefore, from this point of view, Saudi Arabia is seeking to pressure the United States to gain points and increase its security commitments in order to officially normalize relations with a party that already cooperates due to having common strategic goals. The policy followed by Riyadh has worried Washington that America is losing its power of influence in the Middle East region due to the increasing presence of China in this region.
The Hill website wrote: Instead of advancing American interests (in the Middle East region), increasing such security commitments to Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with the Israeli regime, (in fact) further strengthens Washington’s support for the underlying sources of regional instability in the Middle East.
This article adds: The Ibrahim agreement, which has now quickly become the new framework of American policy in the Middle East region, was made without any serious examination of whether the establishment of political relations between the Arab governments and Israel was in line with the interests of the United States. As Saudi Arabia has shown, Washington should not pay for the normalization of such a relationship and sacrifice its interests in this process. America should review its strategic interests in the Middle East region and in line with its goals.
