  "summary": "Former Israeli military intelligence chief Tamir Hayman has revealed that Israel's security doctrine views Arab states as \"collections of tribes\" and \"ethnic groups lacking a shared history and a foundational national vision\". This unwritten concept, which guides Israeli security policy since the 7 October attacks, has not been formally articulated or presented to the public. According to Hayman, this doctrine assumes that any arrangement with Arab actors is temporary and deceptive, and that peace agreements are merely technical and temporary arrangements requiring constant reassessment.",
