U.S. is brokering a deal between Israel, Saudis, Jordan, Turkey and UAE.

Israel is considering partnering with several Sunni-Muslim Arab states in a U.S.-brokered defense alliance that would be aimed at containing a nuclear Iran, the Sunday Times reported, citing an unnamed Israeli official.

The alliance would see Israel teaming up with Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Turkey and the United Arab Emirates to forge a Middle East "moderate crescent" to "contain" Iran, rather than confront it, according to Russian website RT, which quoted the Times.

According to the report, such an alliance would give Israel access to radar stations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE in exchange for its own early warning radar information and anti-ballistic missile defense systems, the source told the Sunday Times. The report suggested that Jordan would be protected by Israel’s Arrow long-range anti-missile batteries.

“The plan is to start with information-sharing about Iran’s ballistic missiles,” said an Israeli official.

The proposal is reportedly known by participating diplomats as ‘4+1’, and is being brokered by the United States.

Turkey has dismissed the report. “These are manipulative reports which have nothing to do with the reality,” a Turkish Foreign Ministry official told Hürriyet Daily News.

Israel and the U.S. have stated clearly in the past that they oppose a policy of containment vis-à-vis Iran. However, retired Mossad head Meir Dagan and other former Israeli security officials have come out strongly against the idea of a military strike on Iran. The report could therefore be a sign that forces within Israel are trying to encourage containment, or it could be a bluff.

Strategy analyst Mark Langfan believes the initiative is real. "MEATO has been born," he said. "The Middle East Alliance Treaty Organization has been created out of the ashes of Hosni Mubarak's fall."

I doubt it's true, it just seem like something anyone pitched up but it could be a reality although there's no deal behind it. I think the KSA and UAE already will install defense systems or already have them. Turkey has them too. And I don't see why Jordan would matter.

Jordan,Turkey,Egypt,and Israel are neighbors. Therefore, they have to cooperate together.

 

[Syrian Lion]

Israel is already controlling all those countries, so what deal are they talking about? opening Israeli bases PUBLICLY?

The Fantasy that Israeli will someday just disappear and all Israelis would just pack up and leave is disappearing very quickly thankfully, reality is Israel has established itself in the region, and the sooner the rest of the Arab world accepts this reality the better.

Are you back tracking or you are just trying to fumigate us with the Saudi sudden found wisdom ? A week ago you were all deriding Israel for killing a Palestinian, yet you are killing thousands of innocents and destroying a whole country and its culture without loosing any sleep. Suddenly you woke up and found Iran a shia also, just like it was a surprised! There is one think that Israel will never do, especially for you arabs, is to attack Iran for your sad eyes! Israeli-Iranian friendship predate your statehood and that friendship is still alive, even in Ahmadinedjad time. Better count on Morroco and Jordan, may do a little fighting for you for a few dollars...

Arabs choose money/wealth over all that other stuff, religion / land.
No arab cares about Palestine anymore, especially the GCC arabs could not give a ****.
Why are we resisting so much ? Iraq, Syria, Algeria we should not care anymore, recognize israel and end all the bs.
Then some Wahhabi in Saudi arabia will call our countries zionist supporters

This is how I see Middle east:

1- Arabs are being very short sighted they are inviting US and other western powers to play a role between their fights.
2- Iran helps US against every Arab/ Sunni country but to keep the natives at rest some statements condemning USA are made time to time.

3- Pakistan should stay miles away from this quagmire. Malaysia and Indonesia have traditionally been ignored, focus of Pakistan should move to Asia now.

True, but let's just say this and call for accepting Israel after they accept peace and return back Palestinian rights including their own country on 1967 borders. We as people are not supposed to be diplomatic, we can't just say this and recognize Israel for nothing.

The fact the Arabs are openly claiming ''Jordan,Turkey,Egypt,and Israel are neighbors. Therefore, they have to cooperate together.''

Every policy so far initiated by Gcc nations is 100% pro Israel and 100 % anti Iran and even after Arab posters lay it all out in the open''

- Fact is Arabs have invited US in almost all of their problems.
- Fact is Iran helped USA directly in Afghanistan and Iraq (Are you for real? Remember Talibans or Saddam were not the Great Satan USA was)

 

[Aslan]

So the boggy man of nuclear iran is actually working. Scare the Arabs to accept and cooperate with the zions, no one bothers iran any ways. The zions get what they need, and we all hold hand to sing Kumbaya.

 

[Xestan]
