Arab countries moving towards Israel

In what could be a strange twist in regional diplomacy, Israel is inching closer to Arab states, particularly those in the Persian Gulf region. Some clear evidence had earlier emerged that showed the Saudi crown prince had paid a secret visit to Israel to discuss regional issues. Others indications also exist. And it already appears that a common goal has brought Israel and some Arab states together. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during a recent visit to Columbia that the Israelis and the Arabs are working together against Iran.

Sanders blasts Saudi Arabia

US Senator Bernie Sanders has hit the headlines again: The US politician has lashed out against Saudi Arabia and harshly criticized the US government for its relationship with the Arab Kingdom. “I consider [Saudi Arabia] to be an undemocratic country that has supported terrorism around the world, it has funded terrorism. … They are not an ally of the United States.” The remarks have been interpreted as a break from the bipartisan consensus on Capitol Hill with regard to Saudi Arabia. The oil-rich Arab Kingdom has for long been considered as a US ally, friend and a partner in the so-called war on terror.
