- Israel and Saudi Arabia are sharing intelligence via U.S. CENTCOM.
- The goal is to aid Saudi Arabia against Houthi rebels.
- This cooperation reflects shared concerns about Iranian influence.
- U.S. Central Command is facilitating the indirect talks.
Israel and Saudi Arabia are engaged in indirect contacts aimed at providing intelligence support to Riyadh against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. These discussions are being facilitated through the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
The initiative stems from a desire to bolster Saudi Arabia's intelligence capabilities in its ongoing conflict with the Houthis. While direct diplomatic relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia do not exist, this intelligence-sharing arrangement highlights a shared strategic interest in countering Iranian influence in the region, as the Houthis are widely seen as proxies for Iran.
The involvement of CENTCOM underscores the U.S. role in mediating and enabling security cooperation between its regional partners. This collaboration, though indirect, represents a significant development in the evolving security landscape of the Middle East, particularly concerning the Red Sea and the Arabian Peninsula.
