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.

Why was it a condition in the first place? It just looks like we're serving netanyahu's interests and not our own,

Oh, right. biden.
