Snippet:
The new defense pact signed by Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey, though far from ideal for Israel, “doesn't shut the door completely on normalization” between Riyadh and Jerusalem, Dr. Yoel Guzansky, head of the Gulf Research Field at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.
