Netanyahu showcased this map tonight during his address outlining Israel’s new security doctrine. The map illustrates an emerging geopolitical realignment in the Middle East, dividing the region into 3 competing blocs. A Sunni alignment centered on Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan. An Iranian axis stretching through Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen. And an Israeli and Emirati strategic partnership, with a wider network of regional allies. These are not necessarily formal military alliances, but a depiction of how regional powers are positioning themselves.
