Israel and Kuwait Engage in Secret Talks on Regional Cooperation Amidst Iranian Threats
Kuwait and Israel are reportedly engaged in undisclosed discussions concerning regional cooperation, according to a report by Kan news service, citing an informed source. These contacts are taking place against the backdrop of Iranian strikes in the Persian Gulf and ongoing attacks by Iran-backed Houthis.
A former Kuwaiti government minister, speaking to Kan, stated that cooperation between Gulf states and Israel to counter common adversaries and ensure regional security would be a "win-win" situation. He emphasized that the identity of the adversaries for Gulf states, whether Iran or Israel, is no longer a relevant question, given Iran's continued strikes and Israel's actions against Iranian military capabilities.
This development follows a statement by Israel's Ambassador to the UAE, Yossi Shelley, suggesting that another country might soon join the Abraham Accords, with Kuwait being a potential candidate. Shelley's remarks, reportedly close to the Prime Minister, generated significant attention in Kuwait, a nation that maintains a publicly hostile stance towards Israel.
