Saudi-Israeli alliance

""Both Saudi Arabia and Israel helped fund and train royalist forces in the north of Yemen during the Yemeni civil war that took place between 1962 and 1970. The opposing republicans in the south were sponsored by Egypt’s president, Gamal Abdel Nasser. Shalom Yerushalmi reported for the Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv in March 2014 that Saudi Arabia was a prime economic sponsor of Israel’s campaigns of cyber-warfare and targeted assassinations against Iran’s nuclear program. Referring to a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the AIPAC conference, Yerushalmi noted that Saudi Arabia “gives us tremendous funding in the campaign we fight against Iran.” ""
