Arab States Expanded Cooperation with Israeli Military

Even as key Arab states condemned the war in the Gaza Strip, they quietly expanded security cooperation with the Israeli military, the Washington Post reports.
Those military ties were thrown into crisis after Israels September airstrike in Qatar, but could now play a key role in overseeing the nascent ceasefire in Gaza.
Over the past three years, facilitated by the United States, senior military officials from Israel and six Arab countries came together for a series of planning meetings in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and Qatar.
