Trump's Saudi Nuclear Deal: A Shift Away from Israel? | Jimmy Dore & Catherine Austin Fitts

Shift in US-Saudi Nuclear Deal

• 💡 The United States is reportedly no longer demanding Saudi Arabia normalize ties with Israel as a condition for progress on civil nuclear cooperation talks.
• 🎯 This change, ahead of President Trump's visit, represents a potential major concession by Washington, dropping a key demand previously held under the Biden administration.
• 📌 Under Biden, nuclear talks were part of a broader US-Saudi deal linked to normalization and a defense treaty, a goal Saudi Arabia has stated would require a Palestinian state.

Reactions to the Deal Shift

• ⚠️ Senator Lindsey Graham expressed strong opposition, stating he would never support a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia that doesn't include normalization with Israel.
• 💬 Catherine Austin Fitts questions the true nature of the deal, emphasizing that she won't consider it a positive development until funding for the "Gaza genocide" is cut off.
• 🧠 Fitts argues that the US lacks financial and information sovereignty, with an "Israeli first" policy compromising these aspects, and calls for sovereignty to return to the United States.

Potential Implications for Regional Politics

• 🚀 Some analysts suggest this move could signal a shift away from a "Zionist chokehold" on US foreign policy, potentially a blow to Netanyahu's regional aspirations.
• 🇵🇸 If true and maintained, this development could be seen as a political victory for Palestine and a defeat for Zionism and Israel, especially amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
• 🇺🇸 The discussion highlights a perceived difference between "MAGA USA" and "Democrats and Liberal USA" regarding limits on Israeli-dictated foreign policy.
