The relationship, often anchored by mutual interests in energy security and regional defence, has evolved in recent years to include broader cooperation in technology, investment, and counterterrorism efforts.
Both nations continue to coordinate closely on shared priorities, including the implementation of the Saudi-Israeli normalisation framework and security guarantees as part of broader diplomatic realignments in the region.
Earlier Saudi Arabia and 18 other countries strongly condemned the recent Israeli decisions expanding control over parts of the occupied West Bank, warning that the measures violate international law and jeopardize the prospects for a two-state solution and regional peace.
