An Israeli opposition leader has admitted that the resumption of diplomatic relations between Tehran and Riyadh was a failure of Israeli foreign policy.

Iran PressMiddle East: Iran and Saudi Arabia signed an agreement mediated by China to resume relations broken off in 2016, as well as open embassies and representative offices within two months.

The historic agreement came after several days' worth of negotiations that were facilitated by China.

"The agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran reflects the complete and dangerous failure of the Israeli government's foreign policy," Yair Lapid, the former prime minister of the Zionist regime and the head of the opposition faction of this regime, said on Friday.

He added that the deal stripped Tel Aviv of its regional defensive wall against the alleged Iranian threat.
