A US-Saudi civilian nuclear deal signed yesterday will ignite a nuclear arms race across the Middle East, Dr. Doron Matza of the 301 analysis platform warns. Matza assesses that the Trump administration is becoming a 'weak link' for Israel, pursuing contradictory policies that enable proliferation while pressuring Iran.
Dr. Doron Matza, a strategic analyst with the 301 platform, warned that the US-Saudi civilian nuclear deal signed yesterday will trigger a nuclear arms race across the Middle East. In a detailed analysis published Thursday morning, Matza argued that the US is enabling proliferation: Egypt is likely to seek similar capabilities, and Iran will not abandon its nuclear ambitions. He characterized the US as a 'weak link' — confused, contradictory, and pursuing policies that harm Israeli security.
Matza, who has previously assessed that the US is shifting toward empowering the Sunni axis and Turkey, and that Iran is winning the diplomatic war, sees the nuclear deal as a materialization of those trends. He cautioned that Israel cannot rely on Washington and must prepare for a more dangerous regional environment.
The analysis reflects the view of a single analyst, not official Israeli policy. It comes amid growing debate in Israel over the strategic implications of US-Saudi normalization and the nuclear track.
