Israel Building Middle East Air Defense Alliance to Counter Iranian Missile and Drone Attacks
2022-06-29
[LI] Amid Iran’s advancing missile, drone, and nuclear weapons program, Israel is forging a Middle East air defense alliance to shield the region from Iranian aggression. On Monday, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that Jerusalem is building a "wide partnership with additional countries in the region," which "includes aerial defense."

The Israeli defense minister’s statement comes after a recent report in The Wall Street Journal claiming the formation of such an alliance following "undisclosed talks" between U.S., Israeli, and Arab military officials. So far, the U.S. and Israeli officials have not responded to the daily high-level military talks reported by the U.S. business.

"The U.S. convened a secret meeting of top military officials from Israel and Arab countries in March to explore how they could coordinate against Iran’s growing missile and drone capabilities, according to officials from the U.S. and the region," the WSJ reported Sunday
