Opposition leader Yair Lapid responded to a Reuters report that the U.S. President Donald Trump's administration removed the requirement for Saudi-Israel normalization in exchange for civilian nuclear talks between Washington and Riyadh, saying: 'For years I have been warning about a Saudi deal including uranium enrichment.' He added, 'It is inconceivable that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains silent while a deal is being formed that will lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East and could result in nuclear capabilities falling into the wrong hands.'
