Kuwait's delegation to the United Nations did not leave Thursday's speech to the UN General Assembly by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, as members of the "non-aligned nations" have been doing for decades, according to nrg.

Diplomatic sources called it "a symbolic act which has not been seen in the past." It seemed to illustrate Netanyahu's words that Arab countries realized that they have common enemies with Israel in the form of Iran and the Islamic State terror movement. Israel has not named countries with which ties are growing without formal relations, but there have been reports about intelligence cooperation between Israel and Kuwait.
