Interviewed in Globes 14.09.2023, Meir Ben Shabbat says that Israel faces three challenges in normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia. One challenge is the Saudi demand for civil nuclear capabilities. Second is the need to maintain Israel’s qualitative advantage in view of Saudi desires for advanced weapons.
