President Trump's proposed 30-year civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia is being viewed primarily as an energy and technology partnership. But could it also be laying the foundation for a much broader geopolitical realignment?

In this episode, Avi Kaner examines how major Middle East agreements often include quiet understandings that are not immediately visible. He explores Saudi Arabia's strategic interests, the long-running U.S.-Saudi relationship, and the possibility that the nuclear deal could eventually pave the way for normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

The discussion also looks at Saudi Arabia's role in the Abraham Accords, continued Israeli overflights through Saudi airspace, growing cooperation on Lebanon, shared concerns about Iran, the potential impact of Israel's upcoming elections, and why some of Israel's most enduring diplomatic breakthroughs have come under conservative governments.

Is the nuclear agreement simply about reactors and energy?

Or is it the first step toward reshaping the Middle East for decades to come?
