Israel has seen "unprecedented" intelligence cooperation with Egypt and Jordan as the countries' fight against ISIS nudge them to work together more closely, AFP reports.
Major General Yair Golan said "there is a strong feeling in the region... that we have to put aside past animosities and concentrate on mutual interests and working together" to deal with the jihadist threat.
He spoke of an "unprecedented level of cooperation" mainly regarding intelligence.
"But that's between defense establishments, and I wouldn't describe that as some sort of reconciliation between the people," Golan said at a news conference for foreign journalists. "But it is a good starting point, and I'm quite optimistic concerning that."
