Israel is building new alliances with Middle Eastern countries to counter the threat from Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, according to The Times of Israel.
Israel is creating "new alliances with important countries in the region” against the shared Iranian threat," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu did not disclose which countries would be part of such alliances, noting that he hopes to reveal more about important agreements soon.
Separately, he assured that the Iranian regime will soon fall.
According to him, during last year’s operation against Iran, Israel eliminated the immediate threat of the Iranian military acquiring nuclear weapons and a large number of ballistic missiles.
"We brought a complementary achievement by smashing the industrial capability of the regime to produce these tools of destruction," Netanyahu said.
Israel’s relations with Middle Eastern countries
Israel’s relations with many Middle Eastern countries have historically remained tense due to the long-standing conflict with the Palestinians and a number of Arab states.
The situation began to change partially in 2020, when the Abraham Accords were signed with US mediation. Under these agreements, Israel established diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
Later, Morocco and Sudan also joined the accords.
Despite this, a number of countries in the region still do not recognize Israel, and relations with some states remain difficult.
Kazakhstan joined the Abraham Accords in November last year.
