According to the report, discussions have been ongoing on this proposal for several years. At one stage, the Biden administration wanted Saudi Arabia to be given this technology only if it normalized relations with Israel, but Saudi Arabia is still not ready to accept this condition._x000D_

According to Israeli media, former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman has said that this agreement will ultimately lead to the acquisition of nuclear weapons, and Israel should strongly oppose this agreement, because if this agreement is reached, a nuclear arms race could begin in the Middle East. Lieberman said that the US-Saudi Arabia nuclear agreement is absolutely unacceptable, every military nuclear program begins with a civil nuclear program, an example of which is Iran.
