US President Donald Trump has called on Saudi Arabia to officially recognize Israel

He said that by doing so, the Saudis would be “greatly honoring me.”

In a speech in Riyadh on Tuesday, Trump spoke alongside Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

He praised the Abraham Accords, which are peace agreements between Israel and some Arab countries.

“The Abraham Accords were an incredible thing.

My great wish, my dream, is for Saudi Arabia, a place that I respect very much, especially for what they’ve done recently, to join these agreements,” Trump said.

The president believes that if Saudi Arabia recognizes Israel, it would be very important for the future of the Middle East.

“I took a risk in creating these agreements, but they have been a great success for the countries that participated,” he said.

Trump also criticized the Biden administration, saying it has “done nothing in four years” to advance these agreements.

He added that the day Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords will be special, with the whole world watching.

“You’re going to honor all the people who have fought so hard for the Middle East, and I think it’s going to be something really special,” he said.

Trump concluded by saying Saudi Arabia can make that decision “in its own time.”
