Israel and Saudi Arabia have admitted to holding five secret meetings to discuss their common enemy, Iran.

 

The two countries can't agree on Palestine, but they have made common cause against Iran.

 

"We discovered we have the same problems and same challenges and some of the same answers," retired Israeli Brig. Gen. Shimon Shapira told Bloomberg.

 

The two countries announced their secret talks at a meeting at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in Washington Thursday. At that event, retired Saudi Gen. Anwar Majed Eshki and former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Dore Gold said both of their countries have found common ground in preventing Iran from overrunning the Middle East, according to Bloomberg.

 

Op-eds in both countries point to the warmed relations. A March, 2015 article published in the Saudi daily Al-Jazirah praised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for addressing the U.S. Congress, and castigated President Obama for being an "ally of political Islam, [which is] the caring mother of [all] the terrorist organizations."Scissors-32x32.png
