"The warming of Israel's relationship with the Gulf States is
not new. Until 2009 Israel had an interest office in Doha, Qatar, which was
closed after Israel's operation in Gaza Strip. However, it's not a well-kept
secret that Israel continues to have below the radar security and economic
cooperation with the Gulf States. Israel's Budget Law of 2013 reveals the
existence of an Israeli diplomatic office in an un-named location in the
Persian Gulf between 2010 and 2012."
