There is a law in the United States called the Logan Act that prohibits private citizens from engaging in diplomacy with foreign governments without authorization. Enacted in 1799, the Logan Act makes it illegal for an unauthorized American citizen to communicate or negotiate with foreign governments that have disputes or controversies with the U.S. with the intent to influence their decisions or conduct.
The Logan Act was named after George Logan, a private citizen who undertook unauthorized negotiations with the French government during a period of heightened tensions. It is meant to prevent interference with the official diplomatic efforts of the United States government. While no one has ever been prosecuted under the Logan Act, it has been referenced on multiple occasions when private citizens were perceived as attempting to conduct diplomacy or foreign policy without authorization.
10月4日，英国路透社援引消息人士的话报道称，如果美国前总统、共和党总统候选人特朗普赢得总统大选，沙特可能会同意与以色列建立外交关系。
路透社消息人士称，如果由特朗普斡旋，沙特王储兼首相穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼可能会支持与以色列达成协议。路透社报道称，特朗普的女婿贾里德·库什纳一直与沙特王储就这一问题保持联系。
该消息人士认为，即使民主党总统候选人哈里斯在美国大选中获胜，沙特与以色列的关系正常化也将实现，只不过可能需要更多时间。
沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼9月18日曾明确表示，“一个独立的巴勒斯坦国”是沙特与以色列关系正常化的前提。“我们确信，没有一个（巴勒斯坦国），沙特不会与以色列建立外交关系。”
