So Israel is siding with the Sunnis...interesting move...not sure that it'll work out well for them, especially with the likes of Saudi Arabia. Staying out of the Saudi-Iran conflict is probably in Israels best interests at this stage, even if they are going to feel the effects of it. The problem with siding with the Sunnis is that you are unofficially siding with Daesh, or at the very least their supporters in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Of course, since the majority of Israels neighbours are Sunni then it's probably more of a pragmatic move than anything else, but it's still a bit like putting an appendage into a blender.
