history of Israeli support for Arab regimes in trouble

There is a long history of Israeli (covert) support for Arab regimes in trouble.  Mossad took control over the security of King Hassan II after series of coup attempts in the late 1960s but also also collaborated much earlier with him and were involved in the affair of Bin Barakah.  They supported with arms the Royalists in the Yemen war, and provided key assistance to the Sultan of Oman when he faced a real challenge in the Dhufar war.  They  also supported the Lebanese regime of Sham`un (and later of Amin Gemayyel--because his little brother (Bashir the tiny tool of Israel) was assassinated before he could assume office--ha ha ha), they have supported the Jordanian monarchy and PA police (non) state.
