Middle East allies of Israel (they are regimes NOT people, as the New York Times would like to imply)

"In the Arab world there is great anger below, but the Wahhabi monarch in Riyadh, the Israeli-protected king in Jordan and General Sisi in Egypt have effectively backed Israel’s assault on Gaza." "In Turkey, Recip Erdoğan makes a lot of noise, mostly ineffective and over-the-top, but refuses to break diplomatic relations with Israel. Turkey is after all a longstanding member of Nato and if Iraqi Kurdistan becomes 'independent' as a US-Israeli protectorate, Erdoğan will need their help to prevent a spillover in eastern Turkey."
