Saudi Arabia getting closer to Israel normalisation deal, prince says


Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince has said "every day we get closer" to normalising ties with Israel.

A deal between the two powers would mark a huge regional shift.

But in a rare interview with Fox News, Mohammed bin Salman stressed the Palestinian issue was still a "very important" part of US-brokered talks.

As part of the negotiation process, the Wall Street Journal said Israeli and US officials were working on a plan that could see Riyadh openly enrich uranium.

Enriched uranium can be used to make nuclear reactor fuel but also nuclear weapons.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - who has previously warned about the dangers of a Middle Eastern nuclear arms race - has not publicly responded to that article.

The Fox News interview aired shortly after Mr Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden met on the side-lines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
