Israel has been exerting significant pressure in recent days on the US administration to include normalization with Saudi Arabia within the framework of the civilian nuclear agreement with Riyadh, according to a report.
A report published Wednesday evening indicates that Israel has been applying significant pressure on the Trump administration in recent days to include normalization with Saudi Arabia within the framework of the US-Saudi civilian nuclear deal. The Zioneer has previously reported that the bilateral nuclear agreement, approved by President Trump in July, makes no explicit mention of normalization with Israel. Israeli analysts and officials have described the absence of normalization as a strategic setback, given that the deal reportedly allows for uranium enrichment on Saudi soil. The current report suggests Israel is now working to retroactively link the two tracks, though the details of the pressure campaign remain unspecified.
