Israel and Saudi Arabia, new BFFs?

Israel and Saudi Arabia, new BFFs?  I never thought I'd see anything like this outside of The Onion:
Israel is working on coordinating plans for a possible military strike with Saudi Arabia, with Riyadh prepared to provide tactical support to Jerusalem, a British newspaper reported early Sunday.

The two countries have both united in worry that the West may come to terms with Iran, easing sanctions and allowing the Islamic Republic to continue its nuclear program.

According to the Sunday Times, Riyadh has agreed to let Israel use its airspace in a military strike on Iran and cooperate over the use of rescue helicopters, tanker planes and drones.
From a purely pragmatic military perspective, this makes perfectly good sense.  But from any other perspective, it looks absolutely impossible!
