Saudis to Allow Israeli Jets Airspace for Strikes on Iran

The Iranian nuclear program has brought Saudi Arabia and Israel closer, according to a report in Israeli media.  Saudi Arabia has now offered to let Israeli fighter jets use its airspace to attack Iran when necessary, in exchange for Israel making progress in the peace talks with Palestinians, a senior European source told Israeli Channel 2.

“The Saudi authorities are completely coordinated with Israel on all matters related to Iran,” the European official in Brussels said.
