On Israeli Flyovers, Liaisons Dangereuses with Mossad, and a Simple Azhar Handshake

“Arab media quote APF that Saudi Arabia has denied a report published in the London Sunday Times that it has given tacit approval for Israeli warplanes to fly over its territory to attack Iranian targets……The Sunday Times report also claims that regular meetings have been held between Mossad officials and their Saudi counterparts since 2002...” Elaph
The story of regular meetings with Mossad is probably true, but the tacit approval for bombing flyovers is unlikely. Besides, it is too risky, and Saudi officials have never been known as risk-takers. Risk-taking is, after all, almost...... revolutionary: a definite no-no.

“Meanwhile, the Egyptian minister of Awqaf (Islamic Affairs) has come to the defense of the Shaikh of al-Azhar in a photo with Israeli President Shimon Peres. He said the meeting was at a round table that included many others including, he stressed, an Iranian delegation."
This was supposedly at a 'Dialog Between Faiths' held in Kazakhstan, in Borat's very own backyard.(So, if it is okay with the Iranians, then it is kay with Egyptian bureaucrats. Very interesting, as Siegfried used to say).
