No ties with Israel before Gaza ceasefire — Saudi ambassador

DAVOS, Switzerland: Saudi Arabia is unable to pursue talks about a landmark deal to recognize Israel until there is a ceasefire in Gaza, the kingdom's ambassador to the United States said Thursday.

'I think the most important thing to realise is the kingdom has not put normalisation at the heart of its policy. It's put peace and prosperity at the heart of its policy,' Princess Reema bint Bandar al-Saud told a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
