The Israeli entity and the so-called Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia have common interests on strategic issues, according to Israeli newspaper “Today” .

The Israeli newspaper “Today” said that the Red Sea coast area, specifically the beaches near Saudi Arabia, is witnessing a “geostrategic” process with long-term implications for the international and regional system, including Israel.

“Israel’s intensive field monitoring of this sensitive area indicates that the war onYemen is directly linked to the control of the Red Sea as one of the most important routes of international trade, bordering the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the north of the Suez Canal in Egypt,” the columnist said.

“The economic data available in Israel indicate that the Bab al-Mandab Strait is one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. Every day, more than three million barrels of oil are transported from the Persian Gulf countries to Europe,” said Shai, director of research at the Multi-Disciplinary Institute in Herzliya essential for trade between Europe and Asia. ”

The Suez Canal is one of Egypt’s main sources of income, making free shipping in the Red Sea a strategic first-class interest for the Israeli entity, including its importance to its economic relations with Asian countries.

“For Israel,” he said, “the Red Sea region should be a center of influence for the alliance led by Riyadh and Cairo, where there are common interests for Israel with the Saudi-led Arab alliance on strategic issues, including preventing Iran’s control of the Red Sea basin. , according to the report.
