The Possibility of Saudi-Israeli Normalization and American Security Guarantees

The podcast discusses the Biden administration's efforts in working on an agreement that could lead to the normalization of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Senator Chris Murphy, a member of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, raises questions and expresses skepticism about the potential deal. He emphasizes the implications of an American security guarantee for Saudi Arabia and how it could affect other US obligations, particularly in Europe. Senator Murphy's main concern is whether extending the security umbrella to Saudi Arabia is in the best interests of the United States.
