Israel: State of a Nation
In recent years, the geopolitical dynamics of the Middle East have shifted, with Gulf Arab states increasingly perceiving Iran as a greater threat than Israel. Former senior US State Department official Peter Berkowitz highlights this changing perspective, noting how mutual concerns over Iran's influence and ambitions in the region have led to a pragmatic realignment of relationships. This shift could foster greater collaboration between Israel and its Arab neighbors, potentially reconfiguring longstanding narratives and alliances in the region.
