Kuwaiti Columnist: Israel Is a Friendly Country
(MEMRI) Writing in the Kuwaiti government daily Al-Watan on Aug. 1, 2015, columnist 'Abdallah Al-Hadlaq argued that if Iran attains nuclear weapons it will not hesitate to use them against the Gulf states, whereas Israel, which has possessed such weapons for years, has never used them in its wars against the Arabs. Al-Hadlaq called upon the Gulf states to sever their ties with Iran and form an alliance with Israel, strengthening political, commercial and even military ties. "I anticipate that the servants and agents of Iran in the region, who have Persian blood running in their veins...will accuse me of 'Zionism, collaborating with Israel.'...[But] the scales have dropped from the eyes of the Arab and Muslim peoples, and they have realized...that their only bitter enemies are the Persian Iranians, not the friendly State of Israel."
