(Reuters) Alexander Cornwell - Israel and Gulf Arab states should cooperate on aviation security and other civilian areas such as transportation, commercial aviation and tourism, Israel's Transportation and Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz told Reuters on Thursday after a visit to Oman. "In my view cooperation between Israel and the Gulf states can and should be expanded....Israel also has a lot to offer when it comes to water desalination and irrigation, agriculture and medicine." Katz said recent public visits by Israeli ministers to the Gulf "are part of a wider trend of strengthening ties between Israel and the Gulf countries based on common interests and a mutual recognition of the potential benefits for both sides, both in terms of contending with common challenges and threats as well as opportunities."
