Why is Israel assisting Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has said no peace with Israel , I hope there will be new developments with peace.
ReplyDeleteSaudi Arabia is "willing" to join the Abraham Accords provided Israel gives in to Palestinians. Obviously, that's a no-go, so they're negotiating a straight agreement without capitulating to Palestinians.
DeleteBy the way, Saudi signed a NATO-type agreement a few weeks ago, providing for mutual defense in case of attack. The signatories were Pakistan and Turkey, obviously helpless (what did MSM Saudi ruler think?)
Israel has been giving this type of intelligence to Saudi for years, on the QT.
No, they're not going to send yeshiva bochurim there, but Tzahal and Shin Bet have been in and out for years.
Now, they'll have to do a government office on Rechov haYarkon, not an embassy like the other Abraham Accords members, but something symbolic, they already have such an office in Tel Aviv, just now it will be public.
(Maybe Chabad will send a shaliach, or some other yeshiva, but there's not enough yidden (meaning money) there, so I don't the so; I think Aish haTorah.)
I guess Bibi knows something that you don't know. Do you really think Israel is helping Saudi for free?
Delete501 -- they're selling them Israeli arms and know how.
DeleteJust like US arms and know how.
