Trump drops Biden’s demand that Saudis recognize Israel in nuclear deal with US — sources (www.timesofisrael.com)

The United States is no longer demanding Saudi Arabia normalize ties with Israel as a condition for progress on civil nuclear cooperation talks, two sources with knowledge of the matter tell Reuters ahead of US President Donald Trump’s visit next week.

Washington would be making a major concession by dropping the demand that Saudi Arabia establish diplomatic relations with Israel. Under former US president Joe Biden, nuclear talks were an element of a wider US-Saudi deal tied to normalization and Riyadh’s goal of a defense treaty with Washington.

So liberal college students get called terrorists and are disappeared for saying Israel shouldn't commit genocide, but the country that funded 9/11 doesn't have to recognize Israel's right to exist in order to get nukes?
