Israel, Arabs To Beef Up Cooperation Against Iran as U.S. Makes Priority of Appeasing Iran
New York Sun ^ | 03/28/2022 | Benny Avni

The foreign ministers of countries under Iran’s guns seemed more intent on cooperation among themselves than on backing America’s pursuit of reviving a failed nuclear deal.

Beefed up military and intelligence cooperation among regional allies to confront Iran is the most positive outcome of the Negev summit — even as America inexplicably remains determined to appease the mullahs.

Foreign ministers of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Egypt today ended a summit hastily organized by Israel’s foreign minister, Yair Lapid, at the Negev town of Sde Boker.

They decided to boost security cooperation and vowed to meet periodically in their various capitals.

“This new architecture, the shared capabilities we are building, intimidates and deters our common enemies — first and foremost Iran and its proxies,” Mr. Lapid said in his concluding remarks. Those common enemies, he added, now “certainly have something to fear.”

Bahrain’s foreign minister, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, added that the need for cooperation with Israel “is made more urgent by recent developments such as the Houthi terrorist militia’s continued attacks on civilian energy infrastructure,” and “the ongoing threat from terrorist organizations such as Hizbollah and other proxy groups.”

“even as America inexplicably remains determined to appease the mullahs.”

It’s not inexplicable.

So does this mean the US will be fighting Israel soon?

RE: It’s not inexplicable.

OK, I need someone to explicate this mindless policy.

What benefit does this appeasement give our country?

Wouldn't put it past the Biden team to provide intelligence, targeting information, and technical assistance to assure an Iranian attack on Israel.

Never forget the unspoken motto of the Democrat Party: “Anything to hurt America.”

It’s been 15 minutes. Apparently you don’t.

The muzzies want to keep the oil flowing and they hate us. Israel just wants to survive. Necessity is the mother of invention-get it?

Now it’s 40 minutes. U folks disappoint again.

None. In fact it does real damage to our country. That’s the explanation.

I am not certain the US will actively attack Israel since that might be a bridge too far for many American friends of Israel. But, sharing intelligence with Iran is not farfetched, although I would be surprised if Israel gives the US a heads up on when the fight will begin. I imagine there is little trust by the Israeli military and intelligence agencies for their counterparts in the US military and the CIA. If hostilities do start, the US will urge the parties to negotiate all while refusing to provide military assistance to Israel or its’ allies. If the war seems to be going in Israel’s favor, the US will demand the UN intervene to prevent an Israeli victory.

Iran is doing wonderful things with their money. Through terror groups killing and raping Israelis, shelling Saudi Arabia. And though it's quite possible terrorists have infiltrated across our open border, why would Joe care.
