Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has unveiled a new security doctrine, presenting a regional map of three alliance axes and warning Moscow about Iran.
- Netanyahu presented a map grouping the region into a blue Israel-UAE axis, a Sunni alliance including Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and an Iranian-led axis.
- Netanyahu said the October 2023 attack forced Israel into continuous multi-front war, prompting new principles favoring preemptive strikes over containment.
- Netanyahu warned that Iran could seek to destabilize Moscow by recruiting Russia's Muslim population as agents.
- Netanyahu said Russia has taken steps conflicting with Israeli interests and that Russian-Iranian cooperation contradicts Russia's own interests.
