Lebanon Debate
Bin Salman Quietly Approaches Israel
The article explains that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia has implicitly sought assistance from Israel through secret channels to confront the threats facing the kingdom, particularly regarding attempts to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and hinder maritime navigation. These calls come amid deteriorating conditions that threaten major oil export routes, with tensions rising in the Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb straits. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is also engaging in talks with Iran in Oman aimed at arranging a temporary solution to ease these threats, although it recognizes that such measures are not permanent solutions. The article highlights that Washington has refused to intervene militarily to assist Saudi Arabia, reflecting pressure on Riyadh to strengthen its own responses—which may include clandestine understandings with Iran or seeking Israeli help.
