The End of the Axis of Abraham: The Arab Gulf and Israel Have Different Visions for a New Middle East

usual nonsense from misguidedaffairs.

especially loved “Although the UAE is prepared to deepen operational cooperation with Israel in response to specific threats”

This is probably reference to Israel deploying on UAE requests Iron Dome, Iron Beam, additional radar systems for drone detection + soldiers to operate it, followed by statements from UAE that they double down on their relation with Israel and USA for defense.

Highlights UAE investments in turkish drone company. Forgets multiple investments/joint ventures with Israeli companies and recent  $2.3bn deal with elbit.

Totally forgets that it was widely reported that gulf countries asked USA not stop war and keep on hammering Iran . And statements like “before war we thought iran is destabilizing element, now we know they are an enemy”.

it probably possible to go paragraph by paragraph in this article to find things that are wrong with it.

how this thing even gets published

Look at all the crybabies that this article isnt having 5 star glowing reviews of Gul-Israeli ties, make me wonder of their nationality or background being so defensive and negative, and all swarming R/Geopoltics at once in a uniform fashion 😆😆😆

Oman is hedging as a ibadi nation (weary of the Sunni salafis and whabbis who regard non-Sunni as heretics) towards Iran, Qatar has backed off of attacks on Iran in its press, and media, and it ties to The al-sharaa govt in Syria, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE are of course sticking with Israel feeling the threat and attacks from Iran, and being hit the hardest, Saudi Arabia while having no love lost for Iran views it ties with the Us in recent years in a questionable light and see Israel is running against their intreasts (and expanding their borders territories) regarding plans to push Gazans into Egypt Sinai, the war and expulsions in Gaza that killed 70,000 people (granted there was a lot of hamas terrorists, but also a lot of civilians), it airstrikes and occupations of territories in Lebanon , and Syria, it 2025 airstrike in Doha, Qatar that killed a gulf national for the 1st time, Israel recognization of Somalikand independence and growing influence in the HOA, and Red Sea, Israel settlements and settlement outpost expansion and terrorism by hilltop settlers across the west Bank hurt Saudi intreasts and hurt their reputation with the whabbi clerical class, and their own population and even divides the house of Saud, the Saudis are moving away from normalization and the Abraham accords, viewing the non-Arab powers like Turkey, Iran and Israel as threats to Arab states, kuwait a wild cry , there been some Internal review of it anti- Israeli stabce since the war, and more abti-irabian sentiment, but…. there still a lot of sympathy among the civilian population of Kuwait towards the Palestinans.

So no this isnt some romantic shift towards Israel in the Gukf, except for the already Abraham accords partners like The UAE, and Bahrain who fear Iran attacks on them, and in the case of Bahrain fear a shia uprising against the Sunni monarchy.

Israel proabably has a better opening for partnership in Lebanon (once Hezbollah is ousted), and even Syria (if it cab make concessions on Mount Hermon, Syria Druze population , final border demarcation, and if it leads to more investments, and sanctions relief.

Heck their seems be a growing partnership among countries like Saudi Arabia, Somolia, Pakistan, Mayalsia, Egypt, Turkey, and maybe Sudan (depending if the SAF wins or not) , and maybe Jordan who all see Israel not honoring agreements, is being expansionist, not flexible regarding the Palestinans, and who wants to the Jordanian wafq control of the temple mount (which would spark issues around the muslim world , even among non-fundamentalists).

Except for maybe Lebanon (once Hezbollah terrorists are sidelined), The UAE, Somoliland and Bahrain. Israel will either have cold peace (like with Jordan, and Egyot) or growing anti-normalization as these Arabs in the Gulf and the broader muslim world see both Israel and the Mullahs in Iran as two sides of the same coin, many will shift more to Turkey, China, India, France and to a lesser Russia.
