"[T]he environment has changed completely since his first presidency, making the prospect of success practically zero."

"Normalization with Saudi Arabia is far from a done deal, and I think US officials have been overly-optimistic."

"I would say certainly normalization with [Israel] is not just at risk. It is off the table until we have a resolution to Palestinian statehood."

"If normalization with Saudi Arabia depends on progress toward a Palestinian state even by a millimeter, it won't happen."

"[P]eace will happen [between Israel and Saudi Arabia]."

"[W]e are on the cusp of a major breakthrough [in normalizing Israel-Saudi Arabia relations]."

"I think it'll happen."

"I think Saudi Arabia will end up being in the Abraham accords. ... Soon. Not a very long way."
