Israel has welcomed the prospect of Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords, describing it as a historic breakthrough for peace in the Middle East, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in response to a statement by US President Donald Trump.

Trump had earlier said a US-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement would be approved if the kingdom joined the accords
