Solidarity with ... who exactly in the middle east?

Arab states expanded cooperation with Israeli military during Gaza war, files show
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/10/11/us-israel-arab-military-leaked-documents/
Exclusive to The Washington Post

Israeli and Arab military officials have come together for meetings and trainings, facilitated by U.S. Central Command, on regional threats, Iran and underground tunnels.

Even as key Arab states condemned the war in the Gaza Strip, they quietly expanded security cooperation with the Israeli military, leaked U.S. documents reveal. Those military ties were thrown into crisis after Israel’s September airstrike in Qatar, but could now play a key role in overseeing the nascent ceasefire in Gaza.

2. This is not news overall to those in the Middle East.

The overall effect has long been there.

What is not always appreciated is :

1. who is offended (or pleased)
2. how long has a various activity or emotion been going on.

Therefore, the math of some stories, or DU members or the blogs, is suspect. Complacent. Over the top. Accuracy in math ? Low. Really low.

------ Back to the OP.

Some of the Middle East are clearly schmoozing. They know most of their cards. Thousands of years of history vs. Trump and his delusions of the week.
