Israel's military chief of staff said in an interview on Thursday that his country was prepared to cooperate with Saudi Arabia to face Iran's plans “to control the Middle East".
“We are ready to exchange experience with the moderate Arab countries and exchange intelligence information to face Iran,” Lieutenant General Gadi Eisenkot said in an interview with Elaph, a Saudi-run news site.
Asked whether information was shared with Saudi Arabia recently, he said “we are ready to share information if necessary. There are many common interests between us and them.”
Israel's army confirmed the contents of the interview.
Israel and Saudi Arabia have no official diplomatic ties.

Kingdom may deal with Israel to it's advantage. Pakistan must review policy of boycotting Israel and getting devoid of micro irrigation , internal security and intelligence benefits.
Foreign policy should be practical , not emotional.

The long term defense of Pakistan depends on its QUALITY of educational system If our educational produces sparrows we can not face the Kites.Pakistan is surrounded either by military powers or by industrial powers.To create peaceful atmosphere among such nations our scholars should get a semester of study leave,so that scholars have modern knowledge to solve modern problems..

Cat is out of the bag. Always wondered why the Saudis never criticized Israel.Now we know. They are closet allies. Always have been.

The cat has been out of the bag long ago. These two countries have been scratching each other’s backs for long time. House of Saud is hell bent on hurting Muslims.

The world is becoming a very small place for the wild eyed radicals to hide. No more safe havens and sources of funding have been heavily cracked down. All the support networks in the guise of NGOs are being round up and shut down. Great development, soon there will be real peace in the next 20 years once we are rid of these fanatics.
