KSA Israeli alliance

[Mr. Perfect]

Followers of the Milo Doctrine have been following this for a number of years. Little I think can humiliate anti Israeli forces in the Arab world than a working alliance with an Arab state.

If we weren't in a post Milo Doctrine world I would be positively giddy.

Israel is working on coordinating plans for a possible military strike with Saudi Arabia, with Riyadh prepared to provide tactical support to Jerusalem, a British newspaper reported early Sunday.

The two countries have both united in worry that the West may come to terms with Iran, easing sanctions and allowing the Islamic Republic to continue its nuclear program.

According to the Sunday Times, Riyadh has agreed to let Israel use its airspace in a military strike on Iran and cooperate over the use of rescue helicopters, tanker planes and drones.

“The Saudis are furious and are willing to give Israel all the help it needs,” an unnamed diplomatic source told the paper.

The report comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the midst of a blitz to lobby against a deal and cobble together an international alliance opposed to an agreement that allows Iran to continue enriching uranium.

On Sunday, Israel will welcome French president Francois Hollande, who a week earlier put the kibosh on a deal between six world powers and Iran that would ease sanctions in return for initial steps toward curbing enrichment.

Netanyahu on Friday urged France to remain firm in its pressure on Iran ahead of a new round of talks on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program in Geneva, kicking off Wednesday.

After meeting Hollande, Netanyahu will head to Moscow on Wednesday to meet with President Vladimir Putin and lobby against the deal.

Iran’s bid for the bomb “threatens directly the future of the Jewish state,” Netanyahu told CNN recently, in a short preview clip of an interview broadcast on Saturday. As the prime minister of Israel, he stressed, he had to care for “the survival of my country.”

CNN reported that Netanyahu also said in the interview that he would do whatever it was necessary to do in order to protect Israel. The full interview will air Sunday morning.

It is an alliance of convenience. The Israeli goal is to fuel conflict between Sunni and Shiite factions. Iraq has moved from Sunni to Shia control so KSA & Quatar have an interest in stopping the expansion via the Sunni MB and the Syrian opposition.

FT : .. Israel says it is ready for Iran strike

.

Israel’s outgoing national security chief has joined other officials in sounding a tough warning, insisting that the Jewish state has the ability to strike the Islamic Republic and is willing to go it alone.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Yaakov Amidror, who stepped down last month, said Israel could halt Iran’s nuclear weapons capability “for a very long time”, and added its air force had been conducting “very long-range flights . . . all around the world” as part of preparations for a possible military confrontation with Iran.

“We are not the United States of America, of course, and believe it or not they have more capabilities than us,” Mr Amidror said. “But we have enough to stop the Iranians for a very long time.”

Mr Amidror, when asked whether Israel’s military capability included the ability to strike Iran’s underground nuclear installations, said: “including everything”, but declined to elaborate.

“We are not bluffing,” Mr Amidror said. “We are very serious – preparing ourselves for the possibility that Israel will have to defend itself by itself.”

He said Israel’s preparations for possible conflict included long-range flights to ready Israeli pilots for possible missions to Iran.

“From here to Iran, it is 2,000km, and you have to be familiar with such destinations,” Mr Amidror said.

He added: “All those who have radar cover of the Middle East know what we are doing.” He said that the flights had been taking place “for a few years”.

Mr Amidror, a two-star general, served as Israel’s national security adviser for two and a half years, longer than any of his predecessors. He has known Mr Netanyahu since 1969, when they took an intelligence course together near Tel Aviv.

When asked whether he was convinced the Israeli prime minister had it in him to take unilateral military action, he said: “If you ask about him personally as a prime minister, he is ready to take such decisions. The answer is a clear yes.” He added: “The situation will be the determining factor for any prime minister. The situation will dictate actions.”

Israel is thought to have a nuclear weapons arsenal of its own, which it has never acknowledged. It sees Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear bomb as a threat to its existence and says a nuclear-armed Iran would threaten other countries – including the US – and draw the region into a new arms race.

“It is not just a threat to Israel, it is a threat to the whole of the Middle East and, towards the end of this decade, to the world,” Mr Amidror said. “But we cannot count on others to do the job if the others don’t want to do the job.”

If Hizbollah were to retaliate by firing missiles and rockets at Israel, Mr Amidror indicated that Israel must be prepared to undertake a ground operation in Lebanon to root out those doing the firing.

“We will have to be ready to use ground forces to go into the urban centres and to deal with the people who are launching the rockets, and to destroy the rockets and launchers,” he said.
