Neither addressed whether U.S. support for Saudi Arabia's civilian nuclear program could be given in exchange for normalization with Israel, a deal that has been floated by Riyadh. Blinken, who was in the kingdom as part of a U.S. push to defuse rows that have touched on oil prices, human rights and Riyadh's opening to Iran, said normalizing relations between Israel and its neighbors to make way for a more integrated Middle East was a priority for the United States.

Saudi Arabia, a Middle East powerhouse and home to Islam's two holiest shrines, has resisted heavy U.S. pressure to end generations-old non-recognition of Israel as have Gulf Arab neighbors the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Speaking alongside Blinken, Prince Faisal agreed that normalization would bring benefits, but said those would be limited if there was not a p...
