Incoming and outgoing prime ministers in the Zionist entity had discussion about normalization with Arab states at the Israeli parliament, Knesset, on Thursday.

Israeli incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday told the Knesset that one of the main tasks for his new government is to “expand the circle of peace” with Arab countries.

“The third task is to continue to expand the circle of peace with Arab countries in order to put an end to the Israel-Arab conflict,” Netanyahu said, most likely referring to Saudi Arabia i24NEWS reported.

For his part, the outgoing Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who now becomes the opposition leader, in his speech responded by saying that it was his government that made progress in the normalization of ties with Riyadh.

“If the incoming government continues on the path that we have paved, we will reach an agreement with the Saudis in no time,” Lapid said, also mentioning the strengthening of the so-called Abraham Accords under his term as prime minister.

Netanyahu, the Zionist entity’s longest-serving leader returned to power as his far-right coalition government is being sworn in on Thursday. His political comeback is surrounded with heated debates over security threats.
