Iran war means larger Israeli influence among Arab states, top defense sources say
Following the Iran war, Israel will have even larger influence in the region among Arab states, despite a wide range of contradictory trends, top Israeli defense sources said on Tuesday.
Among the contradictory trends cited by commentators have been that at times Arab states have seemed to want to now be closer to Israel, seeing the power it can project to protect them versus Iran, while at times they have seemed more worried by the danger Iran poses or by the concept of Israel emerging as a regional dominator.
These contradictory trends could translate either into expanding the Abraham Accords alliance beyond countries like the UAE to countries like Saudi Arabia, viewed as the crown jewel of normalization, or could translate into distancing Israel from growing the Arab normalization alliance.
