i24 News reported that Israel has agreed to a draft agreement with the US, Saudi Arabia and Egypt over the strategic islands of Tiran and Sanafir in the Red Sea.
Two senior Israeli officials said Israel today gave the United States a “green light” to move forward with a settlement agreement.
The move paves the way for Saudi Arabia to announce normalization measures during Biden’s weekend visit to the kingdom, Israel’s i24 news website reported.
The agreement will allow for a separate agreement between the US and Saudi Arabia to allow Israeli airlines to use Saudi Arabian airspace for flights to the east, especially to India and China, and provide direct charter flights from Israel to Saudi Arabia. Arabia for Israeli pilgrims, depending on location.
