In Israel, it is estimated that during next month's planned visit by US President Joe Biden, he will announce the establishment of a forum or security arrangement that will include Israel, Saudi Arabia, the countries of the Abrahamic Accords, Egypt and Jordan. And is growing throughout the region - in part due to Iran's pursuit of a nuclear weapon and its aggression, which is also reflected in the launch of unmanned aerial vehicles in the area.
Sources familiar with the details noted that this is not yet a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia, but it is about security cooperation between the countries.
It should be noted that this is an initiative that Defense Secretary Ganz has been trying to promote for six months, and the issue also came up in his meeting with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin last month.
Gantz addressed the issue yesterday in his speech at the Israel Security Award, saying: "The partnership and deep connection with our American partners and allies, as well as the relations we have built and upgraded in recent years with the region, are also an essential component of Israel's territorial superiority. "This relationship, to strengthen and deepen peace with Egypt, Jordan and the countries of the Abrahamic Accords, to build partnerships in the economy, the environment and also security."

Gantz added: "Because Iran rejects attempts to reach a nuclear agreement with it and continues defiance, there is a jeweler not only in cooperation, but in a regional joint US-led force building, which will strengthen each of its partners. We are working for that."
