Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s first visit to the tiny, oil-rich country comes as Israel and Arab states of the Persian Gulf advance security collaboration — and as a shadow war between Israel and Iran becomes increasingly public.
between Israel and Iran, with tit-for-tat attacks on commercial vessels at sea, becomes increasingly public.
It also coincides with a final phase of negotiations in Vienna between Iran and world powers to revive a 2015 nuclear deal.“In this turbulent era, it is important that our region in particular sends a message of cooperation and goodwill and standing against threats together,” Bennett told reporters before flying to Bahrain on Monday.Israel has clashed with President Biden over his promises to restore U.S.
Since the United States withdrew from that deal, Iran has been rapidly advancing its nuclear program, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog. Israel views Iran’s nuclear program as cover for plans to develop atomic weapons; Iran insists it is intended only to generate nuclear energy and denies any intention to build a bomb.
“We would definitely like to see a new approach to the ‘containment’ by the U.S. toward Iran, and believe that Vienna shouldn’t be the only course,” he said.As an alternative to solutions being debated in Washington and Vienna, Persian Gulf nations and Israel have been attempting to formulate a regional response to Iran, experts say.
