Even as key Arab states condemned the war in the Gaza Strip, they quietly expanded security cooperation with the Israeli military, leaked U.S. documents reveal. Those military ties were thrown into crisis after Israel’s September airstrike in Qatar, but could now play a key role in overseeing the nascent ceasefire in Gaza.

Over the past three years, facilitated by the United States, senior military officials from Israel and six Arab countries came together for planning meetings in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and Qatar.

Qatar, whose capital was struck on Sept. 9 by Israeli missiles targeting Hamas leaders, was one of the countries that had quietly strengthened ties with the Israeli military. In May 2024. A planning document for the event, written two days before it was set to begin, shows that the Israeli delegation was scheduled to fly directly to the air base, circumventing Qatar’s civilian points of entry that could have risked public exposure.

All those leaders should be took down by revolts

All those leaders saw what happened when Palestinian refugees entered their countries previously. They are also slowly becoming less theistic and more secular -- less immediate about getting their Reward in the Afterlife, and a little more concerned with the real world

Not sure which planet you are living on but in the real world there’s over a couple million Palestinian refugees living in Arab countries and with the exception of Lebanon have not caused significant problems in the last 50 years.

Also the Arab world and it’s leaders was much more supportive of Palestinians and anti-Israeli in the heyday of Arab secularism, not that I think that religion, theism and/or secularism had much to do with it.

How do you get Palestinians are the issue when they don't want to help Israel do ethnic cleansing?

Their refusal is rooted in fear that Israel wants to force a permanent expulsion of Palestinians into their countries and nullify Palestinian demands for statehood. El-Sissi also said a mass exodus would risk bringing militants into Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, from where they might launch attacks on Israel, endangering the two countries’ 40-year-old peace treaty.

Even if blaming them for attacks, still on Israels genocide

Sissi should remember the war crimes israel commited during the 6 days war against his countries, the egyptian soldiers killed by Israel in the last few years and the the great israel plan where egypt will be reoccupied

The Six-Day War of 1967 began when, in response to Arab neighbors' mobilization for war, Israel attacked and destroyed Egypt's and Syria's air forces. Israel also defeated Jordanian attacks. The war ended with Israel in control of the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.

So even when Israel goes on the counter offensive so as to not be obliterated by its neighbors, it's the one being accused of war crimes. The fuck?

Somehow every time they have to “defend” themselves, Israel claims more land that wasn’t theirs. That and all of the blatantly obvious war crimes, many of which they boast about, is why they’re accused of war crimes.

Some people are defending the new Nazis and think they should be able to murder neighbors with impunity. The fuck?

It's always black and white and clear who's the good guy and who's the bad guy, right?

Sad people can't think a nation can be the lesser evil in one war and the greater evil in another war...
