Leaders from both Saudi Arabia and Israel have been working toward normalising relations. The Saudi kingdom, which supports Palestinian statehood, says it hopes normalisation would ease Palestinians' lives.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right wing coalition has been adamant in making no concessions to the Palestinians. So where do Palestinians fit as Arab-Israeli relationships change?
