According to him, "There was a very important meeting with Biden, where we focused on expanding the circle of peace. The conversation was supposed to be in a limited forum for a few minutes, and then in an expanded forum - in practice, the conversation was a whole hour in private. The focus was on expanding the circle of peace in the direction of an agreement with Saudi Arabia."
"Things are happening now that a few years ago seemed imaginary - today there is an Israeli minister in Saudi Arabia, and soon there will be more visits. This did not happen by itself, but after we fought for years to change the concept - and convince the world to bypass the Palestinian veto, which said that until we submit to their dictates and we bring an agreement with them, it is not possible to break into the Arab world. In addition, we had to prove our determination and strength in the face of Iran's nuclearization and make our economy free and attractive. These three things led to the Abraham Accords, and created the basis for the agreement with Saudi Arabia."
In conclusion, Netanyahu made it clear that "we are obligated to work for expanding the circle of peace and bring peace with Saudi Arabia, and we do this while strictly safeguarding the interests of the State of Israel - chief among them security."
