US President Donald Trump has said Saudi Arabia will not receive a US-backed civilian nuclear agreement unless it recognizes Israel by joining the Abraham Accords.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the proposed civil nuclear deal, which would prohibit uranium enrichment and be limited to peaceful purposes, remains contingent on Riyadh normalizing ties with Israel.

The statement comes days after Washington announced a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia. However, the full text of the agreement has not been released, and it is unclear whether the Israel recognition requirement is formally included in the deal.

Saudi Arabia has not publicly responded to Trump’s remarks.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump has consistently communicated the same condition to Saudi leaders, adding that the agreement would not move forward unless the kingdom joins the Abraham Accords.

The proposed deal has sparked concern among non-proliferation experts and some US lawmakers, who argue that expanding nuclear cooperation in the Middle East could increase long-term security risks.

The US Department of Energy said the package includes a peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement and a bilateral safeguards agreement designed to support civilian nuclear development while maintaining non-proliferation standards. The agreement will be submitted to Congress for review.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it is aware of the planned US-Saudi nuclear cooperation framework and the proposal for the agency to implement verification measures under the arrangement.
