SUMMARY:Debating Saudi-Israeli Normalization: Does it Advance U.S. Interest
 ?
DESCRIPTION:The Biden administration has launched a complex initiative to n
 ormalize Saudi-Israeli relations and impose distance between Saudi Arabia 
 and China\, reportedly in exchange for U.S. assistance to a Saudi nuclear 
 program and security assurances that could entail the U.S. military defend
 ing the Saudi kingdom. Although the basic elements of this ambitious gambi
 t are clear\, little is known about the all important details\, or the lon
 g-term implications for U.S. interests.  QI has assembled a panel to asses
 s the administration’s objectives\, Saudi and Israeli interest in a deal
 \, the domestic political factors in all three participating states\, the 
 potential nature of a U.S. security guarantee\, Saudi fuel enrichment in t
 he context of U.S. nuclear assistance\, and the degree to which normalizat
 ion would change the Middle East or reflect changes that have already take
 n place.  We had a discussion of these themes and more\, featuring F. Greg
 ory Gause\, professor at Texas A&M University\, Ellen Laipson\, former V
 ice Chair of the National Intelligence Council (NIC) and currently a profe
 ssor at George Mason University\, and Trita Parsi\, executive vice preside
 nt at the Quincy Institute. Steven Simon\, senior research fellow at the 
 Quincy Institute\, moderated.    A full transcript of the webinar can be d
