(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - A senior Israeli political official spoke Wednesday after the hour-long meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden. "The conversation was warm and friendly, between two friends who have known each other for 40 years." "The main part of the conversation dealt with the question of how to promote the normalization and peace agreement with Saudi Arabia. Not if, but how. We went into a lot of details. There is a desire to overcome the obstacles....There is an absolute unity between the positions of Israel and the U.S. in relation to the issue of civilian nuclear power in Saudi Arabia." Regarding any link between normalization with Saudi Arabia and peace with the Palestinians, "Netanyahu told Biden that the Palestinians are part of the process - but they will not have a veto over it." "Biden asked about the [judicial] reform, but did not give his opinion....Netanyahu said that the direction is to reach a consensus with parts of the opposition, or with the public."
