Only 2% of Saudis support normalization with Israel

Only 2% of young Saudis support normalizing the great kingdom's relations with the Israeli regime, according to a recent poll, amid US attempts to push for a deal between Riyadh and Tel Aviv. In an article late last month, the Economist highlighted the results of the 2023 Arab Youth Survey, stressing that “domestic obstacles remain significant” to a normalization of ties between Saudi Arabia and the Israeli regime. “Even an almost absolute monarchy must take public opinion into account. According to the Arab Youth Survey 2023, only 2% of young Saudis support normalizing relations with Israel,” wrote the Economist.
