Saudies Deciding On What Is The Best Deal; Accords with Nuclear Energy Power or Palestinian statehood

Saudis must recognize Israel for the nuclear deal to take place, says Trump. When the deal was announced Wednesday, neither the U.S. Energy Department nor the Saudi government made any mention of it being contingent on the kingdom's relations with Israel.

 People are reacting with a lot of worry over this and bring up 9/11 since he pilots from those planes were Saudis.  The View members on ABC were very upset and displayed having no knowledge at all as to why the USA was at war and didn't like it. Trump has said at several times it was because of Iran not being allowed to have uranium power for bombs, but this doesn't seem to connect with people as a good reason we are fighting them.   

Saudi Arabia has previously said it will not do so without the establishment of a Palestinian state, but the White House said the deal would be off if Riyadh did not join the Abraham accords.

Israel has welcomed Trump's statement.

Posting on X, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Saudi Arabia joining the accords "would be an historic leap forward for peace in the Middle East".

The statement did not mention the nuclear deal. However, Israeli Economy Minister Nir Barkat said previously his country "can manage it" if Saudi Arabia had nuclear power for peaceful means.

Others were more critical. Former Israeli defense minister Avigdor Lieberman, told the paper: "Every military nuclear program begins with a civilian one."

Israel itself is widely believed to have nuclear weapons, but it neither confirms nor denies that this is the case.


The US-Saudi deal is described as a "peaceful nuclear co-operation agreement" that will provide "great access for American companies in the Saudi nuclear energy programme" by the US energy department. The View expressed that money was the cause.
