Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated Israel's commitment to overcoming its greatest adversary, Iran, and enhancing its position in the Middle East through peace agreements with Arab nations once the conflict in Gaza concludes.
During his address to the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, Netanyahu emphasized the significance of thwarting Iran's ambitions, stating that Iran's ultimate goal is to dominate the entire Middle East if Israel were to fall.
Netanyahu also unveiled a new strategic objective for Israel, which involves pursuing additional peace accords with Arab countries in the region.
He expressed his intention to build upon the progress made with the Abraham Accords, which were landmark normalization agreements signed with Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates in 2020.
The Israeli leader emphasized that these future peace deals would be forged with Arab nations that share Israel's vision for a secure, stable, and prosperous Middle East.
Before the recent escalation of hostilities, Israel had been actively engaged in diplomatic initiatives aimed at strengthening ties with certain Arab states in the region.
Netanyahu's announcement signals Israel's continued commitment to expanding its network of diplomatic relationships in the Middle East, with the goal of fostering peace and cooperation among nations in the region.
