Netanyahu: Anti-Iran Alliance Formed with Some Arab States

Local Editor

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hailed close ties between the apartheid entity and some Arab countries, saying that Iran is one of the common concerns of the "extraordinary" alliance.

Asked whether there is an anti-Iran front with "Israel", Saudi Arabia and Egypt as crucial players, Netanyahu told CNN's Fareed Zakaria at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss town of Davos on Thursday that the alliance was an "extraordinary thing."

"I agree that there is an alignment of "Israel" and other countries in the Middle East that would've been unimaginable 10 years ago, and certainly in my lifetime. I never saw anything like it," the "Israeli" premier said.

He further added: "Yes, it starts with a common concern for a common enemy which is radical Islam, either of the radical Sunnis, Daesh [Arabic acronym for "ISIS" / "ISIL"], before that al-Qaeda, which "Israel" fights ... and also our common stance against Iran."

This is while the Tel Aviv regime has been accused of colluding with terrorist groups that are currently losing ground against the Syrian army.

In November 2017, "Israeli" minister of military affairs Avigdor Lieberman extended the hand of "friendship" to Arab countries, calling on them to form an alliance against the Islamic Republic.

"Israeli" minister of military affairs Avigdor Lieberman writes on his Facebook page that the Middle East region now requires an anti-Iran coalition.
