WASHINGTON, July 9 (Reuters) - Israel and Saudi Arabia are a long way from a normalization agreement that would involve a defense treaty and a civilian nuclear program from the United States, U.S. President Joe Biden said in a CNN interview broadcast on Sunday.
U.S. officials have been negotiating in a bid to reach an elusive normalization deal between the two countries.
"We're a long way from there. We got a lot to talk about," Biden said in an interview with "Fareed Zakaria's GPS."
