Sources told the Wall Street Journal that the establishment a US-run uranium enrichment facility on Saudi territory was only one of several ideas being considered.
The Israeli official told the outlet that Israel would request many security measures regarding the program.
The news comes against the backdrop of opposition in Israel against concessions that included uranium enrichment in Saudi Arabia, supposedly for civilian purposes.
