A new Saudi-US deal to reshape the Middle East is taking shape — but Israel can't join while it's still at war
The US and Saudi Arabia are said to be drawing closer to a historic deal that could reshape the Middle East — by sidestepping the vexed issue of Israel's war in Gaza.
According to Bloomberg, the deal would involve the US providing security guarantees to Saudi Arabia and sharing key technology in areas like AI, nuclear energy and quantum computing.
The deal would allow the US to counter growing Chinese influence in the region and provide the Saudis with a bulwark against Iran. The surprise part of the deal is that, for now, it would exclude Israel.
