In view of the attack from Iran, Arab states are also helping Israel - expert Ulrich Schlie explains at IPPEN.MEDIA what's behind it. The fact that the attack - at least according to Israel's statements - caused little damage was due on the one hand to the efficient "Iron Dome" that protects Israel.
On the other hand, there is also support from several states. These include the USA, Great Britain, and France, traditional allies of Israel. But Jordan is also an Arab state. Now the government in Amman even sent fighter jets to its neighbor for anti-drone operations and opened its airspace to Israeli and US planes. If the airspace is now opened again, this should also be seen as a signal of relaxation, according to Schlie. The "differentiated reaction of the Arab states" allows conclusions to be drawn about concerns in the region: it shows "how much a conflagration is feared. ” Schlie also referred to diplomatic interpretation games.
