Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working to establish a multi-nation alliance aimed at strengthening Israel’s regional position and countering emerging threats.
According to the report, Israel is preparing for a shifting Middle East landscape in which new Sunni-led power centers could constrain Jerusalem’s strategic freedom of action. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promoted the idea of building a structured strategic axis composed of six key partners: Israel, India, Greece, Cyprus, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The concept is based on shared interests in security, economic development, maritime routes, and technological cooperation. The countries involved are seen as relatively stable actors with overlapping concerns about radical Islamist movements, Iranian expansionism, and regional instability.
India plays a central role in this vision. As the world’s most populous country and a growing global power, it has significantly deepened defense and technological cooperation with Israel in recent years. Greece and Cyprus provide Mediterranean depth, particularly in energy and naval coordination. The UAE represents the expanding Abraham Accords framework, while Ethiopia offers strategic positioning in the Red Sea corridor.
