Is the US making progress on its Saudi-Israel accord? A US-mediated rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Israel is reportedly taking shape, with the Wall Street Journal citing unnamed officials as saying that a breakthrough has been achieved after months of quiet diplomatic efforts.

The Biden administration has insisted there is still a long way to go, though they’re hoping for an agreement within 9-12 months. Bloomberg and the Financial times also had coverage.
