Yes, some countries have expressed opposition to Saudi Arabia's nuclear program. Israel's Energy Minister, Israel Katz, has voiced opposition to the idea of Saudi Arabia developing a civilian nuclear program as part of any U.S.-mediated forging of relations between the countries
. Israel has long worried that potentially hostile neighbors could use civilian nuclear energy and other projects developed under the 1970 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as cover for clandestine bomb-making. However, Saudi Arabia has not openly pursued a nuclear weapons program and has signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Studies of nuclear proliferation have not identified Saudi Arabia as a country of concern.
