NATURAL ALLIES:
Israel, Saudi Arabia admit secret diplomacy for first time (Jerusalem Post, 6/05/15)
Israel and Saudi Arabia have held five secret meetings since the beginning of 2014 to discuss the common threat Iran posses to the region, it was revealed for the first time Thursday at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, according to Bloomberg.Although the two are considered to be historic enemies, with Saudi Arabia refusing to recognize the Jewish State's right to exist, they never-the-less have engaged in a campaign of clandestine diplomacy in an effort to thwart the Islamic Republic's growing influence in the Middle East.
Just as an alliance of those who support self-determination in the Middle East--the US and the Shi'a--was inevitable, so too was a partnership of those who oppose democracy.
