There is backroom discussion of a middle east defence pact/alliance between Israel- KSA-UAE-Bahrain. At the same time Raheel Shariff is in charge of the Islamic military force in KSA.
Also factor in the Afghan peace deal is gaining momentum and the US has a proposed a Unity Govt giving the Taliban a huge say and direct influence, then all these issues were discussed.
In Hindsight it appears Afghanistan under the Taliban leadership has given some kind of assurance of joining the pro Israel/GCC defence pact as well as possibly Pakistan.
Keep in mind the GCC has gone out of its way in influencing the west in letting the taliban have a say in afghanistan. There is no way they would have done this without getting some kind of benefit from the Taliban and atm their main interests are building a coalition against Iran now the Trump is gone.
A Israeli-GCC-Pakistan-Afghanistan defence alliance against the menace Iran would be a huge game changer. If Turkey comes onboard which is also likely then it will be huge.
