Report: Saudis might help Israel attack Iran in exchange for progress in peace process

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

The Channel 2 report said the Saudi ministers have relayed this message in private to European sources.

In private talks with European sources, the Saudis have expressed their willingness to cooperate with Israel on Iran, including use of Saudi air space by the IDF for a possible air strike, according to a report by Channel 2.

Cooperation with Saudi Arabia would not come free, however. According to the report, the Saudi officials said they would need to see progress between Israelis and Palestinians before having enough legitimacy to allow Israel to use their air space.

Arab governments, not only Israel, have been expressing concern over the development of a deal with Iran over its nuclear program, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Talks with Iran over its nuclear program have instilled fear within some major Sunni states, such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates that a nuclear arms race will break out in the region, and brought about speculation regarding the possible extension of a US nuclear umbrella to its non-nuclear-armed Middle East allies.

According to the Wall Street Journal, concerned Arab states said that a nuclear deal allowing Iran to keep its nuclear-producing technologies would likely drive nations in the region to develop nuclear capabilities in order to match those of Iran's.

An Arab official, according to the WSJ, said that the collapse of negotiations with Iran is preferable to a bad nuclear deal - a comment similar to those previously iterated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

US and Arab diplomats say that, although Arab nations have avoided matching statements made by Israel, they share many of the same fears regarding a nuclear deal with Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Reports that the United States was negotiating a 10-year nuclear deal with Iran are not true, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Tuesday.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the United States and Iran were exploring the option of a 10-year nuclear freeze as part of talks over Tehran's nuclear program.

Hmm if Israel's nuclear program hasn't triggered a nuclear arms race why would Iran's? Or is Israel simply not the big loose cannon danger it is made out to be?

Because it is not run by Islam-crazed Mullahs.

Doesn't make sense, Saudi can never get 'legitimacy' in Arab peoples eyes to allow that. And desperate Israelis think that just 'showing a sign' that maybe sometime thousands of years from now when we expel all Palestinians we'll have peace.

Israelis simply don't get it. Arab world offered normalized relations with two state solution. Nothing more nothing less. But Israeli colonizers can't get enough and want best of both worlds. Also this would be blow to deterrence of KSA and embarrassing to its people.

So I conclude it is another Israeli rumor.

Hmm.... Isn't surprising. KSA tried before too. Don't know the full repercussion of this move but inevitably normalise relationships with other sunni majority countries that don't even recognize it.

'Help' ???

Pray, how are they going to help? Maybe with their cutting edge tech? Or their brave mercenary infantry?

Or maybe they meant 'Fund' instead of 'Help'

'Help' as in allow the Israeli Air Force uncontested passage through Saudi airspace, possibly permit Israeli SAR & Naval assets in it's waterways.

Israel's Nuclear Program is to maintain it's status quo.

But even Iran is not stupid enough. Every State has it's Realist, who believe the State's sole goal is Power. Whether to survive, gain, or maintain.

While we might assume that Iran is a non-rational actor, it is far from that. It could have continued it's war against Iraq until the 'Holiest of Iranian Soldiers' liberated Baghdad but it knew it's grip on power was weak and had to divert its attention to the home front. Peace with Saddam was seen as a relative gain over a zero-sum where neither side gained anything but dead citizens.

Arabs not once declined offer to two state solution, Arabs two state solution is one state for Arabs and one state for Arabs.

house of Saud is capable of anything, but doubt that the troops will follow or be seen with David Star. I think the Saudis, although shackled by Islam believe that any dissention against rulers is not permissible, I believe that will rise against any order to put them fighting along the IDF.
