On February 5, retired Israeli general Amir Avivi, who is the founder and leader of the security movement 'The Guardians' and head of the Israeli Defense and Security Forum, shared his apprehensions regarding the growing military ties between Egypt and Turkey in a video posted on the social media platform X. He highlighted that while Israel focuses on combating the Shiite axis and anticipates an American strike against Iran, Egypt and Turkey have signed a strategic military cooperation agreement. This agreement marks a significant step in enhancing military and security collaboration between the two countries after years of tension.

Avivi emphasized the importance of this new agreement as a turning point that could redefine the regional military landscape, suggesting that Egypt and Turkey should serve as a 'compass' for building Israel's military capabilities in the coming years. He warned that Israel must prepare its army to potentially fight on two fronts against two conventional armies simultaneously, exhibiting a shift in focus that underscores the evolving dynamics of regional security.

Despite stating that Turkey and Egypt are not current enemies of Israel, Avivi categorizes them as adversaries whose relationship could shift towards hostility in the future. This perspective has garnered attention among various Israeli media outlets, highlighting broader concerns within Israel about regional alliances that could challenge its security.
