Saudi-Israeli alliance: do we have to prove it anymore?

"وإسرائيل تقول إن رقعتها لا تحتمل حروبا طويلة مع العرب ولا بد من وجود رادع يخلق الرعب لمنع أي مغامرة عسكرية، لكن إيران قوة إقليمية لا يوجد من يهددها، أو يجاورها بسلاح فتاك، وهنا تغيب المبررات"
(And Israel maintains that its size does not permit long wars with Arabs and that there has to be a need for deterrent that can create fear to prevent any military adventure.  But Iran is a regional power that is threatened by no one, and does not neighbor a deadly weapon, and that is where justifications are absent.)  A Saudi newspaper editor wrote those words as the official editorial policy of the paper.
