Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, will lead a bipartisan congressional delegation to Saudi Arabia and Israel in the next few days, and is expected to meet with multiple heads of state.
"The historic Abraham Accords have already increased stability in the Middle East due to the once-impossible partnerships created and sustained by this agreement," Ernst told Axios. "This is just the beginning, and this trip provides the perfect opportunity to grow U.S. partnerships in the region." As White House officials hold separate negotiations with Saudi, Israeli, and Palestinian officials to broker a peace plan, regional sources have indicated that normalization of ties between the kingdom and Israel will occur, regardless of any potential Palestinian opposition.
