These diplomatic relations may cause concern for Israel
This may cause concern on the Israeli side with the addition of the agreement recently reached between Iran and Saudi Arabia on the renewal of bilateral ties and the reopening of the embassies of the two countries.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Saudi Arabia on Thursday about strengthening its ties with Iran during a CNBC interview, where he said that "those who partner with Iran, partner with misery. Look at Lebanon, look at Yemen, look at Syria, look at Iraq. These are countries that are almost at failed state status.”
In February, Israel and Saudi Arabia had reportedly held talks over concerns about Iran, in addition to reports that the two nations were "developing closer military and intelligence ties."
