Former Mossad Official: Israel Should Offer Saudi Arabia Security in Exchange for Immediate Peace Oded Ailam, a former senior Mossad official and researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, says growing Iranian and Houthi pressure on Saudi Arabia presents Israel with a rare strategic opportunity. Ailam argues that Israel could offer Riyadh real-time intelligence, air defense, protection for critical oil infrastructure and operational capabilities against threats from Yemen. In return, he says Israel should seek neither secret ties nor future promises, but a public, signed and immediate peace agreement with Saudi Arabia.
