“We are very close to Mecca.” With this shocking description, a number of Zionist tweeters praised the Saudi regime’s announcement of its intention to continue building the city of Neom, which is described as a citadel of digital dictatorship across the world, from which the control of digital life would be managed, thus turning the world into a new North Korea.
Over the past week, many Israeli media outlets, including the Jerusalem Post, published reports about unprecedented Israeli-Saudi cooperation in the field of technological control, as Israeli companies will find new ground to work in Saudi Arabia, even if this is done under different American or European banners and licenses.
The Israeli newspapers published details of this cooperation with some different details, some news shared that Western country participates in the bringing together of Saudi Arabia and Israel, and others stated that an amorphous group of Middle Eastern countries, while others explicitly say that it is the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Selection. Some suggest that countries are moving toward an organized defense alliance, while The Washington Post has reported that the matter is “being unofficially under discussion.”
“There is so much that can be achieved by expanding cooperation,” an Israeli official said. The Prime Minister’s Office said, that it does not confirm the report, “but we are always interested in developing relations with our partners in the Middle East.”. The reports came at a time of increased contacts between Israel and Arab countries, with varying levels of concerns about Iran.
Netanyahu spoke with the Crown Prince of Bahrain, Defense Minister Benny Gantz met with King Abdullah of Jordan, and Gabi Ashkenazi met with his Jordanian and Emirati counterparts.
Ashkenazi also spoke with the Foreign Minister of Oman, a country Israel does not have formal diplomatic relations, although Muscat has been open about its contacts with the Zionist entity.
The first ambassador of the UAE arrived in Israel this week and was warmly welcomed.
Talks about increasing defense cooperation appear to have been very preliminary at this point. It seems that the idea of establishing NATO in the Middle East, where every country is obligated to defend the group as a whole, is a baseless idea, but an alliance that aims to confront the common enemies of the countries concerned is on the table.
A source in Abu Dhabi said the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel were ready to move forward, but the Saudi position is not very clear. “Channels are open” between the Zionist entity and Riyadh, but Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman works with the utmost secrecy, without giving any details.
This secrecy was evident in November, when Netanyahu and Mohammed bin Salman met in the high-tech Saudi city of Neom, on the shores of the Red Sea. Israel has not released any kind of official information. This week, there were two interesting indications that Saudi Arabia is ready to take some steps toward recognizing Israel, however, messages from Washington may be discouraging to Riyadh. “This complete list of things the United States is striving to achieve with Saudi Arabia is only possible” in partnership with Saudi Arabia which “respects” American values, Price said.
The “re-evaluation”, as the Biden administration calls it, of relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia is a complex issue that goes beyond the scope of this article, but it either gets in the way of a rapprochement between Israel and Saudi Arabia – with the United States not encouraging it, as long as the Saudis do not make major internal changes, or bring nations together while recognizing that the Jewish state is a Saudi step toward respecting American values.
