The rising unrest in Judea and Samaria will make expanding normalization with Arab states virtually impossible, and we have made this clear to Israel, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said today.
"We have told our friends and allies in Israel that if the fire continues in their backyard, it will be much more difficult — if not downright impossible — to both deepen the existing agreements and extend them, for example, to Saudi Arabia," Blinken said during an event at the Foreign Relations Council.
Blinko, who said Israel had taken several steps to stir up the situation, added that it was unclear how Israel would deal with arenas like Lebanon and Gaza "if it deliberately or accidentally finds itself responsible for the West Bank, with three million Palestinians and half a million settlers."
The Secretary of State added that the United States urged Israel to take steps to calm the situation.
