Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman told Fox News in an interview on Wednesday that his country was moving closer to normalizing relations with Israel, but that the Palestinian issue remained important to negotiations.

"Every day we get closer," said the Crown Prince when asked to characterize talks aimed at the two countries opening diplomatic relations.

White House's John Kirby said that we are firmly in support of moves toward Saudi Arabia-Israel normalization.
