Israeli media: Biden visit to ME not related to 'Middle Eastern NATO'

Israeli media quoting American sources said that what is being circulated regarding US President Joe Biden's visit to the Middle East "is not related to a Middle Eastern NATO or an Israeli-Arab alliance."

The American sources confirmed that the matter is related to arrangements and understandings taking place within the framework of the American Central Command, which is "responsible for the Middle East", as "Israel" joined it after it had been for years part of the American command in Europe.

Two days ago, Jordan's King Abdullah II said that he would support the formation of a military alliance in the Middle East similar to NATO, provided that "it would be done with like-minded nations."

The Israeli media spoke of "the tendency to find intelligence cooperation, as well as diagnostic activities, identifying launches of cruise missiles and drones, or things of this kind, and exchanging restricted technological information," stressing that "everything is taking place under American auspices."

The "secret" tripartite summit

In this regard, the Wall Street Journal reported that the United States held a secret meeting of senior Israeli military officials and military leaders from Arab countries last March, in the Egyptian city of Sharm El-Sheikh.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Sharm El-Sheikh meeting brought together Israeli Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi and Major General Fayyad bin Hamed Al-Ruwaili, Chief of Staff of the Saudi Armed Forces.
