Bob Mason, Jerusalem Post: New Allies: Israel and Saudi Arabia?
Former Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon said that Sunni Arab countries and Israel face the same threat of a nuclear Iran.
The times are changing in the Middle East as alien nations find common ground in a bid to avert Iran supremacy within the region.

In recent years, there has been plenty of reports about Israeli-Saudi relations.
