Why It Matters
Saudi Arabia has consistently linked normalization with Israel to progress on the Palestinian issue, demanding an irreversible path to Palestinian statehood. This stance led Saudi Arabia to pause normalization talks with Israel following the outbreak of the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict in October 2023.
当地时间25日，据沙特阿拉伯方面消息，就美国总统特朗普呼吁沙特等国在美国与伊朗达成协议前先签署“亚伯拉罕协议”、实现与以色列关系正常化，一名沙特消息人士表示，沙特相关立场没有改变。
这名消息人士表示，沙特在巴勒斯坦问题上的立场没有改变，认为“需要一条不可逆转的巴勒斯坦建国路径”。
沙特方面长期立场指出，沙特多次强调，若巴勒斯坦无法建国，就不会与以色列实现关系正常化。
特朗普当天在社交媒体发文，呼吁参与斡旋美伊谈判的沙特、卡塔尔、埃及、约旦、土耳其和巴基斯坦“立即”加入“亚伯拉罕协议”，并称沙特和卡塔尔应该带头，否则，上述国家不应参与美伊协议斡旋。特朗普还说，如果美伊达成协议，伊朗也应该加入“亚伯拉罕协议”。
“亚伯拉罕协议”是以色列政府同阿联酋、巴林、苏丹、摩洛哥等阿拉伯国家签署的、意在快速推进以色列与阿拉伯国家关系正常化的协议。
2023年10月新一轮巴以冲突爆发前，美国曾力促沙特与以色列关系正常化。冲突爆发后，沙特暂停沙以关系正常化谈判。
