Zionist Regime Seeks to Formalize Diplomatic Ties With Saudi Arabia

RIYADH (Dispatches) – The Israeli TV station Hadashot has cited sources as saying that Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is interested in formalizing formal ties between the occupying regime and Saudi Arabia ahead of the November 2019 elections in the occupied territories.
The sources singled out unnamed U.S. officials and Yossi Cohen, chief of the Zionist regime’s intelligence agency Mossad, who are allegedly dealing with the issue. Netanyahu has yet to comment on the Hadashot report.
Earlier, the Times of Israel reported that the regime is in talks with Saudi Arabia and other Arab states to prompt them to establish formal diplomatic relations with the regime.
In late October, Israeli media quoted the United Arab Emirates news website Al-Khaleej as saying that Saudi Arabia and the regime had held covert meetings "in Washington and London" which resulted in the clinching of a deal worth an estimated $250 million.
The agreement specifically stipulates the transfer of Israeli espionage technology to the kingdom. Neither side to the alleged deal has confirmed the information.
In September, Al-Khaleej reported that Saudi Arabia had allegedly purchased the regime’s Iron Dome missile systems to fend off Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah missile attacks.
In March, Zionist Prime Netanyahu confirmed that Saudi authorities had opened the country's airspace for Air India planes that fly from Delhi to the occupied territories.
Earlier this year, he admitted to the regime "having contacts" with Saudi Arabia which "have been kept in general secret".
The same month, Zionist troops Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot revealed that his regime was ready to share intelligence with Riyadh in order to "face Iran", which is considered to be a threat by both the occupying regime and Saudi Arabia.
