Saudi admitted its regional failure by Israel ties

Former Iranian lawmaker, Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani says Saudi Arabia has made public its ties with Israel after facing back-to-back failures in the region.

Ardestani was speaking to the Qods News Agency (Qodsna) in Tehran on phone.

As for Turkey, Ardestani said Turkey has never sought to hide its longstanding ties with Israel, adding Turkey seeks to present itself as the leading country in the region and for the same reason it also builds and keeps ties with Israel.

Asked about Egypt, the former lawmaker said Egypt has common borders with Israel, prompting it to observe caution.

“Egypt does not fear to make open its relations with Israel,” Ardestani said, adding Egypt seems to be following realities on the ground.
