The Gulf analyst in the Financial Times

Yesterday I had a link to an article in Financial Times in which a "Gulf-based analyst" was quoted as saying that Netanyahu is the "best spokesperson" for Gulf regimes.  The "Gulf-based analyst" (who does not wish to be named) wrote to me.  He wanted to make it clear that he expressed this view very disapprovingly.  He said that he was merely describing the views of Gulf regimes and not his views which run counter to those views.
