Netanyahu map sparks controversy over Saudi, Egypt coalition
The article discusses a map presented by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the unveiling of his new security strategy. The map illustrates Israel's perceptions of regional alliances in the Middle East. It highlights categorizations of competing regional axes, including the "Israeli-UAE Hexagonal Alliance" versus an alliance comprising Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan, called the "Sunni Diamond Alliance," which aims to counter Iranian influence and confront Israeli expansion. The map also reveals the overlap of regional and international influences across multiple areas, such as the UAE's support for the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, the division of Yemen into zones loyal to Saudi Arabia and Iran, and classifications of factions in Somalia, Syria, Libya, and Ethiopia, painting a complex picture of alliances and conflicts in the region. These perceptions are part of an offensive security doctrine adopted by Israel, aimed at expanding its alliances and enhancing its status as a regional power, with a focus on confronting regional and international interventions.
