Israeli
Channel 10 News published a leaked diplomatic cable sent to Israeli
ambassadors concerning recent events in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia
which, according to Zerohedge, began with Lebanese Prime Minister
Saad Hariri’s unexpected resignation after he was summoned to
Riyadh by his Saudi-backers, and led to the Saudis announcing that
Lebanon had “declared war” against Saudi Arabia.
Zerohedge
notes that “the classified embassy cable, written in Hebrew,
constitutes the first formal evidence proving that the Saudis and
Israelis are deliberately coordinating to escalate the situation in
the Middle East.”
As
is already well-known, the Saudi and Israeli common cause against
perceived Iranian influence and expansion in places like Syria,
Lebanon and Iraq of late has led the historic bitter enemies down a
pragmatic path of unspoken cooperation as both seem to have placed
the break up of the so-called “Shia crescent” as their primary
policy goal in the region. For Israel, Hezbollah has long been its
greatest foe, which Israeli leaders see as an extension of Iran’s
territorial presence right up against the Jewish state’s northern
border.
