Daily Memo: US-Saudi Nuclear Cooperation, Rosatom Signs New Contract in Kazakhstan
- A nuclear energy cooperation agreement signed between the United States and Saudi Arabia in July could allow for the enrichment of uranium up to 20 percent.
- Amos Hochstein, former Biden administration senior adviser, stated the current deal is "largely based" on the framework negotiated under President Joe Biden, which was developed separately from normalization efforts.
- Terming the agreement "one of the biggest and most dangerous failures of Israeli foreign policy of all time," opposition leader Yair Lapid warned against Saudi uranium enrichment.
- Rejecting claims that Israel previously blocked nuclear talks, Hochstein emphasized negotiations were conducted directly between Washington and Riyadh, stating "at no time did Israel, or any other country, block that deal."
- Under the agreement, parties will study economic feasibility and risks over the next two years, though Hochstein noted his support depends on the deal meeting American nonproliferation and security standards.
