I think reports on this need to be clear: this isn’t really supporting Israel so much as it is opposing Iran.
There is nothing in this statement, for example, that would recognize Israel’s right to defend itself from Egypt.
It is only because Iran is upsetting the Sunni Muslim status quo and Israel’s actions also indirectly benefit those same interest that this man’s statements have been made.
I’ll go out on a limb and say that most of these Arab countries are pretty sick and tired of the perpetual war that has been, for the past 60+ years. The constant aggression.
They have seen what the US did to Iraq and Afghanistan, and doing it with an enormous amount of restraint. They see what has been/continues to take place in Syria, Lybia, Egypt and Yemen. Just people dying for no reason. The wealthy and powerful can send their kids to the UK, France, Germany, even the US for their educations, far from the violence and unrest. Those kids come back knowing that there’s a whole new world out there.
And they see that Iran is doing it’s level best to drag all of them into their desire to eliminate Israel and take on the USA. I doubt any of these folks want any part of that.
1) Bahrain and other countries in the region are more threatened by Iran than Israel, and especially so recently.
2) Iran isn’t really an Arab nation. There has never been a feeling of brotherhood with Iran by other nations in the region.
Bahrain is 70% Shia Muslim and the ruling elites are Sunni, they are sitting on their own powder keg.
