Blinken says 'progress' made on Israel-Saudi normalisation

 CAIRO, March 22, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday the path towards normalisation between Israel and Saudi Arabia, delayed by the war in Gaza, was seeing "very good progress".
 
   Blinken said at a press conference in Cairo that his visit to the Gulf kingdom on Wednesday had yielded "a very good discussion" with Saudi leaders on closer ties between the two states.
 
   The US top diplomat said he could not "put a time frame on it", but that discussions were "getting close to a point where we'll have agreements".
