(Worthy News) –
A new poll shows that, following Israel’s normalization agreements with three Arab countries, an overwhelming majority of Americans now want the US to broker a peace treaty between Israel and Saudi Arabia, All Arab News reports. While the UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan normalized relations without ever actually being at war with Israel, Saudi Arabia has participated in major wars against Israel and is an official enemy of the Jewish state.

The ALL ARAB NEWS exit poll was taken of American voters before the November 3 election: it found that most Republicans and Democrats are keen to see a peace treaty between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Respondents were asked whether they agree or disagree with the following statements: “Now that the U.S. has helped the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Republic of Sudan sign full peace treaties and normalization agreements with the State of Israel, I believe that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia should be the next Arab country to make peace with Israel. The next president, whoever it is, should make brokering an Israeli-Saudi peace treaty one of his top foreign policy priorities.”

The survey found that an overall 78.4 percent of Americans said they agreed with the statement. The poll showed that just 21.2 percent disagreed, while 0.5 percent said they did not know or that they had no opinion on the issue.

In particular, 83 percent of respondents who identified as “conservative” agreed, and 72 percent of “liberals” and 78.5 percent of “moderates” also agreed, All Arab News reported.
