Improving Saudi-Israeli ties shouldn’t breed nuclear bombs

BY ERIC GOMEZ AND HENRY SOKOLSKI, – 12/16/23 3:00 PM ET The Hill

All eyes are currently riveted on Israel’s ground war in Gaza, but it’s not too soon to consider what comes next — a U.S.-brokered deal to normalize Israeli-Saudi relations. Before Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, President Joe Biden had already offered Riyadh a formal defense commitment and civil nuclear energy cooperation including enriching uranium — a process that can bring a state within weeks of acquiring a bomb. Is this the best way to weld a lasting peace between Saudi Arabia and Israel? Hardly. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has repeatedly threatened to build nuclear bombs to counter Iran. A Saudi Arabia with uranium enrichment sets up a risky proliferation cascade. If Tehran and Riyadh build the bomb, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Turkey and Egypt — all of which have nuclear technology thanks to cooperation agreements with the U.S. — will want nuclear weapons of their own.

This should cause a pause. At the very least, it recommends weighing any U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal more seriously than current U.S. law requires — i.e., with little more than a presidential announcement. Instead, Congress should treat it as deliberately as it does bilateral trade agreements, which require majority approvals in both houses. Israeli-Saudi normalization should not be linked to a U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal. It should be hived off and considered separately. Assuming Biden stays his current course, though, an announcement of a “historic” normalization package that includes a formal nuclear agreement is likely sometime next year. Even now, normalization — and its nuclear and nonnuclear sweeteners — are in play. MBS says so. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says so. Biden and his top foreign policy counselors say so.

Before joining Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan and the UAE in recognizing Israel, MBS, though, has asked for a hefty pound of nuclear flesh — help in enriching uranium. This is the very bomb-connected activity Iran has been spooking the world with. If Washington won’t help here, MBS says Riyadh could turn to China, which is already assisting Saudi Arabia in building a uranium milling plant. Most Saudis see enriching uranium as a sovereign right that the Kingdom must exercise.

The question is why. MBS’s energy minister maintains Riyadh wants to mine, mill and enrich uranium to exploit rich domestic uranium reserves for the purpose of fueling a future Saudi fleet of power reactors. Yet, recent uranium prospecting in Saudi Arabia has only found “extremely uneconomic” deposits. Link this with MBS’s repeated threats to get the bomb and his reluctance to adopt anything but a minimal safeguards agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the hand-wringing begins. But it gets worse. As Biden entertains MBS’s enrichment demands, he has to worry that the UAE, which foreswore enrichment as part of its nuclear agreement with the U.S., will demand equal treatment as the deal allows if Washington offers more generous nuclear terms to the UAE’s neighbors. Allow the Saudis to enrich, then, and the UAE could be next, followed by others. How this will deter Iran’s nuclear ambitions is anybody’s guess.

Under the U.S. Atomic Energy Act, all Biden needs to do to finalize a Saudi nuclear deal is announce it and let the text sit with Congress for 90 consecutive legislative days. If super majorities in both houses fail to reject or revise it, the agreement automatically becomes law. Bundling a U.S.-Saudi nuclear agreement with Israeli-Saudi normalization will likely cause Congress to avoid dedicated hearings on the nuclear deal to instead focus solely on normalization. This isn’t inevitable, though. Members from both chambers and parties previously introduced legislation to require both houses to vote on any Saudi nuclear deal allowing enrichment. Three days before Hamas attacked Israel, 20 senators wrote a letter to the White House demanding any U.S.-Saudi agreement prohibit Saudi enrichment and require Saudi Arabia to open itself up to the IAEA’s most stringent inspections.

These same senators are likely to raise probing questions. Can inspectors detect diversions of enriched uranium early enough to block a Saudi nuclear bomb? Can anyone keep MBS from seizing “protected” nuclear facilities? Iran used its safeguarded power reactor at Bushier as a covert acquisition front to secure nuclear weapons-related goods. U.S. intelligence got the details too late to stop it. Could the Saudis do the same? 

Presumably, the White House would prefer not having to field such questions while selling a package that’s likely to contain contentious U.S. security guarantees. That would recommend keeping any U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal out of the initial package. The White House could choose to do this, but Congress ought to ensure it by requiring both houses to approve any nuclear cooperative agreement cut with any nation whose leader has publicly threatened to leave the Non-Proliferation Treaty or demanded to enrich uranium. Today, that nation would be Saudi Arabia.

The last and most desperate strategy of Satan is to gather all the armies of the world to make war against the Lord with the express goal of stopping Him returning to institute the Millennial Kingdom. Revelation 19:19 testifies of this time: “And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.”

Satan’s evil plans will fail – that much is certain from Scripture. In fact, even though Satan will appear to have success in establishing a permanent kingdom throughout the Tribulation Period, God reminds him that his efforts are futile by declaring this in Revelation 11:15: Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” Only one kingdom will be left standing after the Tribulation Period – and it isn’t the one led by Satan!

Outside of the remnant church, there are not many people who are taking seriously the warning of God’s judgement which will soon burst forth upon the earth. Sadly, though the church as a whole should bear witness to this truth, many are blind to the prophecies which speak of this future time. The world will reel in collective shock at how terrible this time will be, notwithstanding the efforts of many wonderful remnant believers worldwide who are doing all they can to sound the alarm prior to the rapture.

MbS (Man-by-Satan) – the Great Speaker, Prince or Beast Performs Wondrously and Deceivingly

How terrible will it be? Zephaniah 1:15 provides an insight: “That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,” There was an old medieval Latin hymn based on this passage. The first two verses read:

“Day of wrath! O day of mourning!

See fulfilled the prophet’s warning,

Heav’n and earth in ashes burning!

O what fear man’s bosom rendeth,

When from Heav’n the Judge descendeth,

On whose sentence all dependeth.”

To deal with mankind’s sin a redeemer was required, and, to the glory of God, a Redeemer has been sent. But if you are not willing to accept the truth of Jesus Christ, you will soon come face to face with the lies of the Antichrist. These lies will not only lead to a life of difficulty on this earth, but they will lead to an eternity of punishment if you remain outside of a saving faith in Jesus Christ. John 3:17-18: “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Revelation 13:7 And it (7) was given unto him to make war (7) with the saints, and to overcome them: (5) and POWER was ‘GIVEN’ him (Prince, Beast, Antichrist) (7) over ALL kindreds, and tongues, and NATIONS. (777)

The Antichrist; ‘A King of Dark Sentences’ (political language, false agreements, deceiving covenants, lies, back-room dealing, deception, intrigue, announcements and deceiving doctrines and programs.)

23 (7) “And in the latter time of their (7) kingdom, when the transgressors are come to (7) the full, a king of fierce countenance, (7) and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

24 And his power shall (7) be mighty, but not by his own (7) power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, (7) and shall prosper, and practice, and shall (7) destroy the mighty and the holy people.

25 (7) And through his policy also he shall (7) cause craft to prosper in his hand; (7) and he shall magnify himself in his (7) heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also (7) stand up against the Prince of princes; (7) but he shall be broken without hand.” (Daniel 8:23-25)

Jesus Christ is (7) the ‘ONE’ worthy to open the SEALS:

Revelation 6 And I (7) saw when the Lamb opened one of (7) the seals, and I heard, as it (7) were the noise of thunder, one of (7) the four beasts saying, Come and see. (7777)

Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and (7) behold a white horse: and he that (7) sat on him had a bow; and (7) a crown was given unto him: and (7) he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (7777)

Commentary; the rider is the ‘beast’ or ‘antichrist’. His being clothed in white suggests ‘3’ false righteousness, false peace and false authority. He has a bow, but no arrows. He rules with lies and threats, but no military or arms. He conquers and subjugates, not with force but with ‘5’ lies, deception, false covenants and false agreements and false promises. He is the world’s greatest ‘political’ leader and deceiver. He is the one who ‘confirms the false covenant of seven years with Jacob’ which starts the tribulation. You should know now of who I speak. His ‘crown’ represents authority, rulership and position. It even literally represents his ‘position’ as Crown Prince, once the tribulation begins. My discernment is that the ‘white horse upon which he sits’ is symbolically a white Arabian stallion.

Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ testifies who is he is and his offer of salvation for mankind, through the forgiveness of their sins, the shedding of his blood and his resurrection. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus communicates (witnesses) the who, what, where, when, why and how of mankind’s salvation. This is known as the gospel of Jesus Christ. Once again, seven (7) references regarding the Holy Spirit witnessing to Christ denotes God’s divine purpose and plan.
