Arabs Said To See Israel As Security Partner

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Arab states have come to see Israel as a security
partner in countering the threat from neighboring Iran, a senior member of
Congress said.
Rep. Gary Ackerman, chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Middle
East and South Asia, asserted that not one Arab leader regarded Israel as a
threat. Instead, Ackerman said, Arab leaders, despite their public
stance, regard Israel as a bulwark against Iranian expansionism in the
Middle East.
