Alwaght- Newly leaked documents have uncovered close security ties between the Israeli and Saudi regimes.
According to the leaked letter, the Saudi war minister recently wrote a letter to the commander border police in the southern region of the kingdom decreeing that security in the region be handled by an Israeli company. The Israeli company has been mandated to deal with cross border retaliatory attacks carried out by Yemen's Ansarullah.
A report by Yemeni Najm al-Thaqeb website has revealed that, following the failure of Saudi-backed forces in their attack on Yemen and after became apparent that some Saudi frontier regions might fall to legitimate Yemeni forces and Ansarullah fighters, the Saudi regime has contracted an Israeli company known as Al Majal Group to oversee security in the southern region. The Israeli company has already obtained 45 million US dollars to plant landmines and put barriers in the border region.
This is not the first time the Saudi regime is using the services of the Israeli regime's top security company.
Since 2010, the Israeli Al Majal Group took charge of security during the mandatory Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, or Hajj. It is under the watch of the Israeli security company that over 4000 Muslim pilgrims were killed during last year's Hajj following a deadly stampede in Mina, the worst in history.
Al Majal G4S is a private Israeli security contractor that has also been implicated in enabling the torture of administrative detainees in Palestine, including children, according to BDS activist Zaid Shuaibi.
The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign has not been sitting idly by. In October 2014, the campaign sent a clear message to the Saudi regime, urging it to terminate the contract with the company that happens to provide equipment and security services to protect Israeli settlements, occupation checkpoints, and police facilities. As expected, the Saudi regime not only ignored the calls but has handed the Israeli company more powers in handling security in the kingdom.
