Israel Quietly Transferred $250m Of Sophisticated Spy Systems To Saudi Arabia: Report<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

A new bombshell report in the Jerusalem Post <\/em>confirms that Israel and Saudi Arabia’s somewhat “quiet” but growing security relationship is far more extensive than previously thought, as it now includes a $250 million weapons deal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is unprecedented as the two nations still don’t even have official diplomatic relations, as the kingdom has yet to officially recognize the state of Israel, but\u00a0continue a close behind the scenes alliance based on intelligence sharing especially in places like Syria or even Yemen in order to “counter Iran”.<\/p>\n

According to the Jerusalem Post report<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia and Israel held secret meetings which led to an estimated $250-million deal, including the transfer of Israeli espionage technologies to the kingdom<\/strong>, Israeli media reported on Sunday, citing an exclusive report by the United Arab Emirate news website Al-Khaleej.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The report goes on to describe the spy systems as “the most sophisticated systems Israel has ever sold to any Arab country”<\/strong> and notes they’ve already been transferred to Saudi Arabia, where a Saudi technical team will undergo training to operate them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is extremely unlikely if not\u00a0impossible that Israel’s own technicians and operators would actually conduct the training of Saudi personnel\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/em>likely it is to be done through contractors from Western countries who are usually in abundance in the kingdom.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, it appears the United States and Britain may also have had a role to play in cementing the deal<\/strong>, which was first exposed by a\u00a0Gulf-based news outlet<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The exclusive report also revealed that the two countries exchanged strategic military information in the meetings, which were conducted in Washington and London through a European mediator<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
