Netanyahu says he’s talking to Arab leaders about ‘fighting together’
Times of Israel ^ | 3-31-26 | LAZAR BERMAN

Posted on 03/31/2026 5:55:53 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ministers at a cabinet meeting today that new alliances are being formed with leaders of Arab countries who “are talking about fighting together on our side,” the Hebrew-language Maariv daily reports.

“In the past, I had secret conversations with Arab leaders,” Netanyahu reportedly said. “I told them, ‘As soon as Iran can, it will conquer you and overthrow your kingdoms.’ Back then, they didn’t really internalize things. Today they understand.”

Yesterday, Ambassador to Washington Yechiel Leiter said on a podcast that Gulf countries are asking Israel for help.

“Some of our allies have become even greater allies over the past month,” he told the “What the Hell is Going On” podcast. “Whether it’s UAE, Bahrain, I think we’ve become closer to the Saudis, closer to the Omanis. Closer to the Kuwaitis for crying out loud. They’ve asked us for assistance.”

The most significant thing Trump has accomplished is totally remaking the Arab World. They want Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran gone, as much as the Israelis. That’s why I say, Trump isn’t just in this for Israel, he’s doing it also for the Arab World, as well.

Maybe the leaders of the Arab countries have figured out that Iran is not a friend but wants to dominate them.

The talks are the Abraham Accords/Negev summit in action.

The whole thing started because Israel and Saudi Arabia were working together to an extent Iran found intolerable and sicced Hamas in Israel.

All involved are following President Trump’s lead to determine the next phase. Too many cooks can spoil the broth. However,someone needs to make salads and deserts.

You are far, far behind the times.

President Trump via special envoy Jared Kushner, established the working partnership called the Abraham Accords joining the USA, th Gulf States, Jordan, Morrocco and Israel against Iran.

Bibi needs to keep this on the down low. Such cooperation with Israel could cause an overthrow in many of these countries

I crack up out loud whenever I read something like this.

That guy has a well-earned reputation in New Jersey real estate circles as a lightweight.

“Would have made sense to do that before they lit the fuse on this...”

It is a practice in the arab world to support the muslim countries and if they aren’t actually in the fracas, to stay out. But when Iran started shooting missiles into the surrounding countries with no provocation, especially when they could have gotten support from them for the asking, they lit the fuse. As long as the people are related in the islamist tie, they are supportive or not playing. And Iran has succeeded in separating themselves.

The more Israel works toward regional defense agreements with like-minded Arab regimes, the better off everyone will be

3 of our fighter jets were shot down over Qatar. Friendly fire-or was it? Remember that French Exocet missile hit one of our ships in the gulf? It was Iraqi who we were supporting in their war vs. Iran. Israel can work with their neighbors. Just don’t go near them.

I remember one who did.

Anwar Sadat

It didn't get the results he had in mind.
