Former Prime Minister of Israel: Israel has completed its meal

ON 22 JULY, LOCAL TIME, FORMER ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENNETT CONDEMNED SAUDI ARABIA AND THE UNITED STATES FOR BYPASSING ISRAEL IN REACHING AN AGREEMENT ON NUCLEAR ENERGY COOPERATION. HE STATED THAT THE AGREEMENT MIGHT THREATEN ISRAEL ' S SECURITY AND THAT THE ENRICHMENT OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL IN SAUDI TERRITORY COULD LEAD TO A NUCLEAR ARMS RACE AND A SITUATION OUT OF CONTROL IN THE MIDDLE EAST REGION. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE AGREEMENT WAS A STRATEGIC FAILURE ON THE PART OF ISRAEL, WHICH SHOWED THAT IT WAS LOSING CONTROL OF ITS OWN DESTINY AND THAT IT HAD BECOME A “TWILIGHT MEAL”. THE SAUDI MINISTRY OF ENERGY ISSUED A STATEMENT TODAY THAT SAUDI ARABIA HAS SIGNED A COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH THE UNITED STATES ON THE PEACEFUL USES OF NUCLEAR ENERGY. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THAT THE AGREEMENT PROVIDED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A URANIUM ENRICHMENT FACILITY IN SAUDI ARABIA BY UNITED STATES ENTERPRISES IF A JOINT UNITED STATES-SAUDI STUDY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NECESSARY.
