Israel Believes Trump Lacks Senate Support for Saudi Nuclear Deal without Israeli Involvement
(Israel Hayom) Shirit Avitan Cohen - An Israeli official told Israel Hayom that President Trump "won't be able to get approval to push forward a civilian nuclear program for Saudi Arabia without the Israeli component. He doesn't have a Senate majority for any agreement that doesn't include Israel or that moves forward without its consent." He confirmed that the Americans had made inquiries with Israel regarding its position, and chose to advance the initiative after determining that Israel could not meet Saudi demands regarding the Palestinians. The U.S. Constitution requires treaties to be approved by a two-thirds majority - 67 senators.
