Saudis give nod to Israeli raid on Iran -Uzi Mahnaimi & Sarah Baxter
The head of Mossad, Israel’s overseas intelligence service, has assured Benjamin Netanyahu, its prime minister, that Saudi Arabia would turn a blind eye to Israeli jets flying over the kingdom during any future raid on Iran’s nuclear sites.
Earlier this year Meir Dagan, Mossad’s director since 2002, held secret talks with Saudi officials to discuss the possibility.
[Such] reports were denied by Saudi officials.
The Israeli air force has been training for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear site at Natanz in the centre of the country and other locations for four years.

A Message to the World -Ron Ben-Yishai
The journey of an IDF submarine through the Suez Canal attests to upgraded security ties between Israel and Egypt as well as to the growing trust between the two states. Permission was granted by Egypt during [Israeli] Defense Minister Ehud Barak's meetings in Cairo [held recently, pictured above].
The very fact that an Israeli submarine sailed through the Suez Canal conveys the message that, from now on, Israel and Egypt will be cooperating on issues beyond the Sinai border.

Israeli Sub Sails through Suez Canal, Signaling Reach to Iran
-Dan Williams
An Israeli submarine sailed the Suez Canal to the Red Sea as part of a naval drill, Israeli defense sources said, describing the maneuver as a show of strategic reach in the face of Iran. An Israeli defense source said the drill "showed that we can far more easily access the Indian Ocean, and the Gulf, than before."
