A coming Arab-Israeli war?

Only this time they might be allied in a military strike against Iran.

Or so reports Swoop, described by the Washington Post as a "well sourced foreign policy website."

On February 9, Swoop reported that a report out of Tel Aviv claims that the Israeli political and military leadership has concluded that "Bush is finished and the US is headed for a neo-isolationist phase." Because of this belief, Swoop says Israel is "increasingly open to unilateral action against Iran."

Swoop goes on to report that "area experts have learned that the Israelis have received assurances from Saudi emissary Prince Bandar bin-Sultan that, should they go ahead, they will enjoy tacit support from the Gulf Cooperation Council states and may even be able to use airfields in Qatar for emergencies."
