Several Arab states senior officials have been engaged in discussion of the plan to normalize relations with Israel,WSJ added.

The Gulf states’ initiative, according to WSJ, to relax trade restrictions with the Gaza Strip, to set up telecommunication lines between the countries, open trade negotiations and allow planes to fly over their airspace as well as granting entry visas for Israeli businessmen and sports players.

Israel and Gulf countries have secretly stepped-up intelligence sharing, particularly focused on Iranian arms shipments to proxy militias fighting in Yemen and Syria, according to American, European and the Middle East officials involved in security issues.
