That is unprecedented as the 2 nations nonetheless don’t even have official diplomatic relations, as the dominion has but to formally acknowledge the state of Israel, however proceed a detailed behind the scenes alliance based mostly on intelligence sharing particularly in locations like Syria and even Yemen with the intention to “counter Iran”.





In keeping with the Jerusalem Put up report:

The controversial report detailing that Saudi Arabia has bought Israeli’s Iron Dome protection system went viral on the time after a outstanding Arabic information web site, Al-Khaleej Online, made the declare based mostly on diplomatic sources. The report alleged the primary Iron Dome missile battery is slated to be transferred to Saudi Arabia earlier than the top of the 12 months in December.

Two weeks in the past, because the Jamal Khashoggi affair started shaking up Saudi-Washington relations, Benjamin Netanyahu told Israeli parliament: “Due to the Iranian risk, Israel and different Arab international locations are nearer than they ever have been earlier than,” the prime minister said.

This newest revelation of the switch of $250m in subtle spy tools is a part of a broader development in nearer Saudi-Israeli “secret” relations which is able to solely proceed as long as each see the US as “not doing sufficient” to thwart Iranian enlargement within the area.

Nevertheless, the timing of the alleged switch of Israeli espionage tools is particularly particularly attention-grabbing in addition to alarming, provided that information of it comes simply as Riyadh has been uncovered as spying on and murdering journalists, activists, and dissidents whilst they reside in international international locations.
