Fresh attempts by the United States and Saudi Arabia to reach a defense pact are part of a wider effort to reshape regional and global dynamics, and to degrade Iran's influence, according to observers in Israel.

Sky News Arabic reported on Nov. 10 that Saudi Arabia and the United States are working on a defense pact intended to be finalized by the end of the year, with implications for “stability arrangements” in Lebanon and Gaza. The Biden administration is reportedly seeking Senate support for the agreement.
According to Meir Ben Shabbat, who served as the head of Israel’s National Security Council between 2017-2021, led Israeli delegations for the signing of the Abraham Accords and currently heads the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, the proposed pact is “one component within a broader deal between the two countries.”
From Washington’s perspective, “The expansion and deepening of ties with Saudi Arabia may serve American interests: political, security and economic, in the struggle for the new world order, in competition against China and Russia, and in the fight against Iran.”
