From A Closer Look On Syria

As yet I have not found (in english language searches) the sources ISWNews reports above. --Diagonal (talk) 11:32, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

I do not see why there would be such evidence; the page should be alleged involvement, if at all. Official Israeli policy is not interfering in others affairs (Israeli ambassador statement in interview to Pozner, Russian prime time TV). Unofficially, they will still not interfere for the sake of interfering, and claims to the contrary in Arab and leftist media (including Israeli leftist media) is pandering to their consumers ingrained beliefs that Jews secretly rule the word, or their leftist agendas, and may well have nothing to do with reality at all. I can imagine that the State of Israel does something against factual or perceived Iranian schemes, or responds to wishes of its allies (like in Suez crisis), or that some private ex-militaries are happy to make money out of war (and this is not limited to any country or any ethnicity, evidenced by multiple well-known international PMC groups) . But I do not believe that as a state they will waist moneys and lives for others' wars, or divert resources away from their own security; why on earth they would do it? Any recent noise may have to do with the fact that a small Arab-Israeli party was a tie-breaker in yet another hung elections; but I was not really following what might have transpired. --Resup (talk) 12:59, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Well its mostly speculation but, Israel has normalized relations with UAE and Saudi, tends to work in tandem with US and UK, all of which are involved. It perceives Ansarallah as a security threat and will not be disinterested over threats to its allies shipping around Bab al Mandeb. It seems to make sense that they would want a sigint capacity on Socotra. Also I guess that its defence technology sector will have an intereste in the drone warfare taking place there --Diagonal (talk) 14:42, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
