In private talks with European sources, the Saudis have expressed their willingness to cooperate with Israel on Iran, including use of Saudi air space by the IDF for a possible air strike, according to a report by Channel 2.
Cooperation with Saudi Arabia would not come free, however. According to the report, the Saudi officials said they would need to see progress between Israelis and Palestinians before having enough legitimacy to allow Israel to use their air space.
Arab governments, not only Israel, have been expressing concern over the development of a deal with Iran over its nuclear program, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday....

It’s a trap.
Man, that would be GREAT...!!
It’s all theater. It’s in as much the Saudis interest as Israel that Iran be stopped.
SA should absorb the Palis.
in the new ottoman empire 0bama is trying to help kick start, it’ll be based around nuclear armed iran... NOT saudi
Saudis don’t like not being in control
Iran is just cutting into the Saudis business of expanding the Caliphate, that’s why the Saudis want them gone, they just want to be rid of their competition.
This US regime has got the whole world nervous, haven’t they? “Who is America going to betray next?”
Saudi will NEVER overtly allow so much as an Israeli flyover, unless there is plausible deniability — let alone go in w/ Israel on some joint endeavor. This report alone is probably enough to crab the deal, if any.
Well, we know one thing for sure. Obama is no friend of Israel.
Yup. The kingdom is basically surrounded. The House of Saud is a big prize. They need Israel to assist them.
Progress???
Who’s progress?
At least if the House of Saud falls, it will end all pretense that the Saudis are our friends.
A rare true statement from the WH, it's probably a three-year deal by now.
The response should be “you first”.
peace process = pacification of Israel.
Yeah, attacking someone to move a peace process does sound iffy.
It’s a little ironic that Obama is rushing to sign a deal with Iran that everyone else despises so much they are willing to make peace with their enemies to see it unravel.
Why does Obama want this deal with Iran so badly? Iran is funding Hezbullah and Hamas, Iran has sent troops into Syria (with Assad’s support), threatens Jordan and Saudi Arabia and the GCC states, and he can’t want to sign off on a nuke’s accord for them. Its totally bizarre, and strange so few are even questioning it.
The only reason Israel would make a deal with Saudi Arabia, whose King is reportedly suffering from dementia, would be if Israel’s voters are also suffering from dementia to the extent of electing a liberal, pacifist prime minister like Isaac Herzog next month to lead them to doom.
