US deputy secretary of state nominee: Commitment to Saudi-Israeli talks unwavering

Key players in Saudi Arabia-Israel normalisation talks are still keen to resume the process even after the 7 October events and war, Kurt Campbell, US deputy secretary of state nominee, said on Thursday.

“I think it is understandable that at this moment, some of those discussions are quiet and they are difficult,” Campbell, speaking at his confirmation hearing at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said.

He also said that he is not in favour of conditioning aid to Israel at this time.
