Will Trump's election accelerate Israeli-Saudi normalization?

Will Trump's election accelerate Israeli-Saudi normalization?

The Israeli National Security Studies Institute seems to highlight the state of political instability that former U.S. President Donald Trump is going through, pointing out the ambiguity of his vision regarding the current wars in the Middle East, especially in Lebanon and Gaza.

The institute confirmed that Trump, despite his desire to end the war in Gaza in the past, did not provide a specific vision for the post-war phase, raising questions about his future directions.

On the other hand, the institute mentions that Trump may continue to support military aid to the countries in the region, considering his previous support for the "Abraham" agreements and the "Deal of the Century," in addition to the possibility of his support for a two-state solution with the Palestinians.

This possibility also includes the potential for Saudi Arabia to play a central role in supporting this solution, which could contribute to the recovery of Gaza and the development of reforms within the Palestinian Authority.

If this occurs, a Saudi-American-Israeli alliance could be formed and witness stronger support in addressing security challenges in the region, including the signing of defense agreements among the three countries.

It is worth mentioning that Saudi Arabia has linked the normalization process with Israel to recognizing the Palestinian people's right to freedom and self-determination and establishing their independent state. Can the elected American president accelerate the realization of this, or will he make normalization a reality that overlooks the rights of the Palestinian people?!...
