According to “The Wall Street Journal,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is strongly considering giving his approval to a Saudi nuclear enrichment program. The article claims that Netanyahu has directed high-ranking Israeli officials to hold talks with the US government in an effort to find a trilateral solution to the problem that has been plaguing US Senators and other American experts.

Officials in charge of Israeli security and nuclear specialists share these concerns. Instead of addressing the demand, Netanyahu has been talking about the strategic and economic benefits of the peace agreement. Israel’s objections to US efforts to strike a nuclear agreement with Iran may have been weakened by National Security Council Director Tzachi Hanegbi’s recent evasive response to a question about Israel’s official opinion of a Saudi uranium enrichment program supported by the US.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has been putting pressure on the Atomic Energy Commission, and specifically on its director, retired Brigadier General Moshe Edri, to back the plan being negotiated between Washington and Riyadh. A number of former top security officers and former members of the Israeli atomic commission have warned the Atomic Energy Commission about the risks associated with uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, despite the fact that most Israeli nuclear experts are opposed to the proposal.

Newly improved chances for a peace accord between Israel and Saudi Arabia, brokered by the United States, have experts worried about the cost Israel will have to pay to achieve normalization with the head of the Arab world. Israel hopes to strike a deal that will prevent it from being required to give advance notice to the United States before attacking Iran.

Since Israel has refused to offer Palestinian rights as desired by the Arab world, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has ruled out a deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel. The likelihood of an Israeli-Saudi peace accord is highly dependent on how Iran reacts to the prospect of regular relations between the two countries.
