- • Trump stated that the deal is contingent upon Saudi Arabia normalising relations with Israel, specifically joining the Abraham Accords, which has been a point of contention for Riyadh.
- • Israeli officials welcomed the potential for diplomatic ties, but analysts from The New York Times warned that the nuclear deal could pose risks to Israel's security.
- • The agreement is currently under review in Congress, and its future remains uncertain as Saudi Arabia has historically resisted normalising ties with Israel.
