Sa'ar: There Are Disturbing Things in the Proposed Deal with Saudi Arabia

MK Gideon Sa'ar gave an interview to Israeli media on Saturday night, September 23, in which he commented on the agreement being negotiated with Saudi Arabia.

Sa'ar stated that if the agreement reached with Saudi Arabia is a good one, then the opposition will support the agreement, but also noted immediately the concerns that arise from the talks surrounding the agreement so far.

"There are definitely disturbing things, and there is no such thing 'at any cost' in diplomacy," Sa'ar said. He added that "the Saudi demand to enrich uranium on its soil with a full fuel reserve is disturbing and will lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East."

"The demands on the Palestinian issue are vague," he added. "Conceding territories and dividing Jerusalem - we should not make these moves when the incitement continues and the payment to terrorist activists continues."

Sa'ar added that he heard from officials in the defense establishment who told him that they too are concerned. "The required discussions have not been held so far - this is not appropriate. The defense establishment should be included so that it analyzes the proposals, and a public discussion should also take place," he said. (INN / VFI News)
