The new Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan power bloc pushes Israel down Trump's Middle East priorities
The new triple-axis doesn't necessarily pose a new military threat, but could reshape the region to their liking: a constrained Trump Middle East policy, a weaker Israel with less influence in Washington, and a new regional stance on Iran
A new alliance between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan may reshape the Middle East region. According to Haaretz, this triple-axis doesn't necessarily pose a new military threat, but could lead to a constrained US Middle East policy and a weaker Israel with less influence in Washington.
The new alliance may also impact Israel's stance on Iran. Haaretz reports that it could lead to a new regional stance on Iran, although details are limited.
In a separate development, Jerusalem Post reports that Israel has yet to sign or formally approve the roadmap for implementing the next phase of US President Donald Trump's Gaza plan, amid growing opposition and warnings from Hamas. Shin Bet Director David Zini warned ministers that Hamas views the proposed demilitarization process as a strategic opportunity to constrain Israel rather than give up its military capabilities.
