U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his team have been mediating between Israel and Saudi Arabia for the past few months, according to a report in one of Israel's top daily newspapers.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pushed back in response to criticism over his remarks that the Trump administration’s Mideast peace plan may not 'gain traction' and is 'unexecutable.'
'An Israeli PM and the FMs of Arab countries stood together and spoke with unusual force, clarity and unity against the common threat of the Iranian regime.'
The US says Iran is the world's foremost state sponsor of terror and cannot be treated as an equal in the global community until it halts these activities.
'All of these weapons are for use against the State of Israel and it is our right – based on the right of self-defense – to prevent their manufacture or transfer,' the Israeli premier stated.
Jewish and pro-Israel groups expressed best wishes to Mike Pompeo on Thursday after his appointment to serve as the next US secretary of state was confirmed.
A former CIA head and his sitting counterpart confirmed that Israel is maintaining contacts with Saudi Arabia regarding common interests concerning Iran.
A $1.7 billion payment by the US to Iran that coincided with the release of American hostages in January is helping Tehran boost its military budget by 90% in the next year. Some US lawmakers are concerned that the money was in fact a ransom payment by the Obama administration.
Iran said Tuesday it would not grant visas to three US congressmen opposed to the nuclear deal, calling their request to monitor the accord a "publicity stunt."
Obstinate in maintaining his nuclear deal with Iran at all cost, Obama is bending to Iranian pressure and delaying any response to Iranian belligerence and blatant breach of UN resolutions.
