Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government when the Prime Minister last discussed mutual UK–US foreign policy objectives in the Middle East with the President of the United States; and whether those discussions included discussion of the normalisation of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The UK continues to support diplomatic efforts to normalise relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The UK is a firm supporter of Israel's normalisation agreements, including the Abraham Accords. We continue to encourage close regional cooperation in order to tackle regional challenges and we encourage those countries with whom Israel does not yet have diplomatic relations to recognise the economic, cultural and security benefits of cooperation with Israel.
