Netanyahu’s assertion that a new axis including India, Arab and African countries, Cyprus, and Greece is being formed carries more promotional value than practical substance. Through this claim, he seeks to divert public and media attention from internal pressures and political and social failures in the occupied territories. The economic crisis, inability to manage Gaza, and the global isolation of the Zionist regime have created conditions in which Netanyahu has resorted to diplomatic exaggeration. Simply naming a few countries and speaking vaguely about others suggests that the axis he envisions lacks a real foundation in regional politics and functions more as a tool for his own political self-preservation.

An Admission of a U.S.–Zionist Conspiracy

The coincidence between Netanyahu’s claim and overt moves by the United States and the Zionist regime indicates that this imagined axis is part of a broader regional design. U.S. actions—from attempts to disarm Hezbollah and retake military bases in Syria to freeing ISIS forces and pressing for changes in Iraq’s political leadership—are all part of an effort to reduce regional independence and impose hegemonic policies. The claim of a new alliance serves as cover for continuing failed strategies and costly bloodshed, with the main aim of weakening indigenous convergence and destabilizing the region so that the Zionist regime can project, even temporarily, an appearance of security and power.

Manufacturing Divisions Against Regional Convergence

Netanyahu’s policies, alongside those of the United States, in promoting a false Shiite–Sunni divide are intended to create a buffer zone for the Zionist regime and protect American interests. His remarks and statements by Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, which interpret Iran primarily through a Shiite religious lens, exemplify attempts at sowing division. Measures such as designating certain Muslim Brotherhood groups as terrorist organizations likewise aim to create rifts among regional states and reduce the potential for indigenous convergence. Such an approach not only obstructs the formation of shared regional security but may also push countries toward reactive, short-term responses, whereas convergence and unity are the key to countering external plots.

Strategy of Localizing Security

Given past U.S. and Zionist conduct and current regional developments, a strategy centered on localizing security and fostering regional convergence around the Palestinian cause is a necessity. Iran stands ready, alongside building its own deterrence, to cooperate with regional countries in pursuit of shared goals. Netanyahu’s claimed axis is not a source of security; rather, it creates an opportunity for preemptive initiatives and strategic measures by Iran and the regional resistance. Any threat against Tehran or converging regional states would amount to targeting the bases and interests of the Zionist regime and the United States, with consequences that would be irreparable.
