This program addresses pressing security challenges by strengthening regional ties and advancing Israel’s strategic integration into a Middle East shaped by three contending forces: Iran’s so called “Axis of Resistance”, the Muslim Brotherhood’s radical agenda, and a peace-driven coalition anchored in the Abraham Accords. A key objective is to advance normalization with Saudi Arabia, including a reference to the Palestinian component, a central concern for many regional actors. In this context, the program highlights the importance of regional architecture, backed by the US, to strengthen alliances and counter destabilizing forces.
