Related: About this forumSunni Arab Nations Are Israel's Allies,' Says Israeli Foreign Ministry Director General
http://www.haaretz.com/beta/1.668601The director general of Israels Foreign Ministry, Dore Gold, called the Middle Easts Sunni Arab nations Israels allies.
Gold used the term twice in a presentation Wednesday in New York focused on the shortcomings of the Iran nuclear deal.
What we have is a regime on a roll that is trying to conquer the Middle East, Gold said of Iran, and its not Israel talking, that is our Sunni Arab neighbors and you know what? Ill use another expression that is our Sunni Arab allies talking.

Now that the Israelis and Saudis have found love in one another's arms, do they really need us?
