US President Donald Trump said on July 23, 2026, that a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia depends on the kingdom recognizing Israel -- throwing the agreement into turmoil just the day after it was signed. Riyadh has long resisted joining the so-called Abraham Accords with Israel, insisting especially after the Gaza conflict on a pathway to a Palestinian state.
