Saudis Say Yes To Israel
By Micah Halpern

Thursday July 9, 2009

I've Been Thinking:

The Sunday Times of London reported that Israel has secured permission from Saudi Arabia to fly over Saudi airspace if and when it was necessary to attack Iran.
The office of the Israeli Prime Minister denies this agreement.

Such an accommodation should not be a secret.
This plan has been in the works for a long time.
A year ago there were serious and reliable rumors that Israeli fighter aircraft were on the ground in Saudi air-force bases so that Israeli pilots could orient themselves to the Saudi terrain.

The most recent report asserts that the chief of Israel's Mossad, Meir Dagan, came to a very clear agreement with Saudi leadership about flying over Saudi Arabia.

This is significant not only diplomatically, but also practically and militarily.
If Israel uses Saudi airspace to attack Iran they do not need permission from the United States and they do not need US flight codes.
Israel would only need to fly south and quickly east into Saudi Arabia, across the Persian Gulf and into Iran.

Permission for Israel to use Saudi air space alleviates potential pressure that the US could apply on Israel not to act against Iran.
