Lapid told the Americans he was vehemently opposed to allowing Saudi Arabia to carry out any nuclear enrichment on its soil.
The report said Gantz and Bennett were believed to have also highlighted the dangers of a regional nuclear race if the Saudis had their own program.
Lapid‘s meeting in Washington comes as Biden is set to send a delegation, headed by McGurk, to visit Saudi Arabia this week in an effort to ramp up efforts on a possible normalization agreement with Israel.
U.S. and Palestinian officials told The Times of Israel earlier this week that talks will be held in Riyadh and will also be attended by Assistant Secretary of State For Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf.
