NEW YORK – Saudi Arabia is cooperating with Israel on the Iranian nuclear issue, an Egyptian intelligence official told WND.
The official said Saudi Arabia is passing intelligence information to Israel related to Iran. He affirmed a report from the Arab media, strongly denied by the Israeli government, that Saudi Arabia has granted Israel overflight permission during any attack against Iran's nuclear facilities.
The official previously told WND that Prince Saud Al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, has been involved in an intense, behind-the-scenes lobbying effort urging the U.S. and other Western countries to do everything necessary to ensure Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons. Such weapons would threaten Saudi Arabia's position of influence in the Middle East.
The Egyptian official said his country believes it is not likely Obama will grant Israel permission to attack Iran.
He spoke in the past about other Arab countries' efforts to oppose an Iranian nuclear umbrella but did not comment on Egypt's own position on the matter.

“The Egyptian official said his country believes it is not likely Obama will grant Israel permission to attack Iran.”
no kidding.
Beware of Saudis bearing gifts.
Didn’t the Saudis already give Israel overflight permission for a strike on iran?
Ping.
What is beneficial to the Saudi’s (as far as a peaceful mid east goes) also benefits Israel and visa-versa. Jordan, Turkey, and Egypt have been quietly and overtly working with Israel for years.
Ping.
A story came out a few months ago that they had.
Then about a week ago the Saudis were reportedly concerned about “contamination” of their cities by Jews flying overhead.
Now the rumor swings back to the more plausible situation. If they wanted Israeli jets to swerve around Saudi cities, I see no reason why Israel wouldn’t oblige (although it would have their fighter pilots muttering under their breath that with friends like this who needs enemies).
The Shiite Moose do not believe that the Sunni Moose are muslim, and vice versa.
I know, but the Shiite man on the street will side with the Sunni man on the street before they side with Israelis.
Saudi Arabia is cooperating with Israel on the Iranian nuclear issue, an Egyptian intelligence official told WND.As Ben Franklin might have said, three can keep a secret if two of them are dead Egyptians.
