Saudi Arabia: Nuclear Program Price for Normalizing Ties with Apartheid “Israel”

Islam Times - Saudi Arabia is ready to normalize ties with the apartheid “Israeli” entity.

However, it conditioned that a full normalization with the apartheid entity would happen if Riyadh receives a permission from the US to pursue a civilian nuclear program.

The Wall Street Journal report revealed that the Saudi Kingdom preconditioned that an agreement will allow the Saudis to exploit their extensive uranium reserves for a restricted civil nuclear program.

The other two demands put by Riyadh to Washington were an affirmation of the US-Saudi alliance, a commitment to follow through on weapon supplies as though Saudi Arabia were a NATO-like country.

According to the WSJ, Saudi demands for security guarantees and nuclear represent “daunting obstacles to a deal, as some Washington lawmakers will likely oppose those measures.”
