Fracturing Alliances: The Nuclear Deal's Uneasy Neighbors As the United States and Saudi Arabia near finalization of their nuclear power deal, a growing sense of unease is brewing in the region, particularly in Israel.

Critics argue that transferring nuclear technology to an oil rich nation with a history of human rights abuses would embolden Riyadh's authoritarian tendencies and create new risks for the Middle East.
