Israel joins Saudi Arabia and Oman in naval exercise for the first time amid heightened Gulf tensions.
Israel is taking part in a huge US-led naval exercise in the Middle East, for the first time publicly joining Saudi Arabia and Oman, two countries it has no diplomatic relations with despite its normalisation of ties with some Gulf states.
The International Maritime Exercise 2022 (IMX 22) includes approximately 60 countries and comes amid heightened Gulf tensions after missile attacks on the UAE by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement, including a foiled attack aimed at a base hosting US forces.
