WASHINGTON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - The United States has offered Saudi Arabia assurances that it will offer specific proposals to help the Israelis and Palestinians forge a peace deal, a top Saudi official said on Monday.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said that in inviting his country to the Annapolis conference Washington promised to "use its full influence" to ultimately bring about a peace agreement. He said that meant if the two sides could not agree, "we assume the United States will come up with its own ideas."
