On Tuesday, November 18, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is scheduled to visit the White House for the first time since 2018. The visit comes at a time of renewed regional maneuvering, as the U.S. doubles down on its engagement in the Gulf, deepens ties with traditional partners, and navigates shifting dynamics that will shape the future of Middle East security and diplomacy. Join Jason Isaacson, AJC Chief Policy and Political Affairs Officer, Anne Dreazen, Vice President of AJC’s Center for a New Middle East, and Michael Ratney, former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, for a timely briefing on what to watch for from the visit, its potential implications for the region, and what it may mean for Israel and other U.S. partners across the Middle East.
