Israel in Secret Talks With Kuwait Amid Regional Tensions
Israel is reportedly engaged in discreet, "under the radar" discussions with Kuwait, a Muslim nation with which it does not have official diplomatic relations. The talks, emerging amid heightened tensions with Iran, focus on shared security challenges and potential responses to regional threats, according to a source familiar with the matter cited by "Kan News" on Thursday.
A former Kuwaiti minister suggested that cooperation with Israel could be mutually beneficial, describing it as a "win-win" scenario for Gulf states to counter common adversaries and maintain regional security and stability. He emphasized that the current regional reality has shifted Gulf nations' perceptions of threats, making it clear that Iran poses a significant danger.
This development gains further significance following remarks by Israel's Ambassador to the UAE, Yossi Shelley, who stated this week that another country is expected to join the Abraham Accords within months. Shelley specifically raised the possibility that Kuwait could be the next nation to normalize ties with Israel.
