Israel’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations, Danny Danon, says the crisis with Iran is providing a catalyst for deepening ties with Arab countries.
“It's not a secret that in the last few years, we worked with many moderate Arab countries in the region,” Danon said in an exclusive interview with Al-Monitor at his office in New York. “And what's happening recently, when we see the aggression coming from Iran, we hear they are more open to collaborate with us, even more publicly. … So we are collaborating. We are cooperating. We are not happy with what's happening in Iran, but it definitely brings us closer to our neighbors.
