Israel and Kuwait Hold Covert Talks on Regional Security Cooperation
Kuwait and Israel are engaged in undisclosed discussions concerning regional cooperation amid escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf, including Iranian strikes and ongoing attacks by Iran-backed Houthis. The "Kan" news service reported on these secret negotiations, citing an informed source.
A former Kuwaiti government minister, speaking to "Kan," stated that cooperation between Gulf states and Israel would create a "win-win situation" for deterring common adversaries and ensuring regional security and stability. He emphasized that the identity of the Gulf states' enemy, whether Israel or Iran, is no longer a question, pointing to Iran's continued strikes in the region and Israel's actions against Iranian military capabilities.
This development follows remarks made by Israel's Ambassador to the UAE, Yossi Shelley, who suggested that another country might soon join the Abraham Accords, with Kuwait being a potential candidate. Shelley's statement, reportedly close to the Prime Minister, generated significant attention in Kuwait, a nation that maintains a publicly adversarial stance towards Israel.
