Global Firepower: Egypt Leads Israel in Military Power
A new classification of military strength in the Middle East has shown that Egypt ranked second regionally and twelfth globally, surpassing Israel, which took third place regionally and fifteenth worldwide, according to the "Global Firepower 2026" index. The ranking is based on more than 60 criteria, including troop size, equipment, logistical capabilities, and diverse sources of armament, with nuclear capabilities excluded. Turkey topped the ranking both regionally and globally due to possessing the second-largest army in NATO and a broad defense industrial base. Meanwhile, Israel relies more heavily on technological superiority and the professionalism of its forces, such as advanced aircraft and air defense systems. Egypt, which has the largest army in the Arab world in terms of size and diversity, benefits from its numerous resources and support from various sourcing channels for its weapons, granting it strategic depth and high logistical capabilities. The classification clearly indicates that geographical factors and population size significantly influence Israel’s ranking. However, the assessment does not include nuclear capabilities or alliances, focusing instead on conventional strength and the ability to sustain prolonged wars.
