Analysis: Secret Israeli-Saudi ties likely to continue despite Abdullah's death

 This kind of article wouldn't appear in the U.S. press. There is no debate about our relationship with Israel in America. Any paper that wrote an article like this might be accused of being anti-Israel, or worse:
The tacit security and intelligence cooperation that has come to characterize Israel’s clandestine relationship with Saudi Arabia is likely to remain intact even as the House of Saud undergoes a transition of power following Thursday’s passing of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud.

“The changes that the Middle East has experienced in recent years have created a set of joint interests between the two countries,” said Dr. Michal Yaari, an expert on Saudi foreign policy and a lecturer at the Open University.
