Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has revealed that Tel Aviv is in the process of forming a new regional alliance to counteract what he describes as the 'Shiite axis' represented by Iran and the 'Sunni axis' represented by the Muslim Brotherhood. Speaking at a security conference attended by Israeli security chiefs, Netanyahu emphasized that this new alliance involves multiple countries in the region, some of which Israel is currently visiting while others are visiting Israel. This concerted effort signals a significant shift in regional cooperation amidst ongoing tensions in the Middle East.

Netanyahu's address also focused on internal security issues within Israel, particularly the rising crime rates in Arab communities and the illegal arms trade. He stressed the need to disarm Hamas, insisting that this would happen, whether through easy means or more challenging methods. He expressed concern over the potential emergence of an 'erotic threat' from Arab communities, highlighting the importance of confiscating illegal weapons to prevent future violence.

The announcement comes in the context of heightened military presence in the Middle East by the United States, influenced by Israeli interests. This situation suggests an intensification of military actions against perceived threats from Iran and its allies, reflecting a broader strategy of containment and preemptive action in the region. Netanyahu's statements indicate a commitment to proactive measures to address both internal and external security challenges, illustrating the complex dynamics at play within Israeli security policy.
