New Alliances to Counter Iran in the Middle East
(Jerusalem Post) Ramy Aziz - Iran has consistently demonstrated its desire for the land and wealth of the Arab states. Iran's former intelligence minister Ali Younis said in March: "Today, Iran has once again become an empire as it has been throughout history....The entire Middle Eastern region is Iranian...we will defend all of the region's people because we consider them part of Iran." Today, new alliances are visible Arab responses to Iran's maneuvers. Other than Saudi Arabia and Egypt, there is no one more aware of the coming danger and more capable of meeting the challenge than Tel Aviv. Therefore, there must be discussion of the possibility of benefiting from Israel's capabilities, either openly or secretly, in order to ensure the peaceful and free coexistence of the people of our region.
