The Israeli Arabic-language outlet argued in a Sunday evening post that the Gulf region, rather than the Iranian or Gaza fronts, is the central theater for Israel's strategic interests.
In a short post at 22:02 Jerusalem time, Abu Ali Express — a recognized Israeli outlet covering Arab and Gulf affairs — asserted that the Gulf states are what truly matter for Israel's strategic calculus, dismissing the Iran and Gaza battlegrounds as secondary. The comment reflects a persistent theme in Israeli strategic discourse: that normalization with Gulf states and the security of the Gulf axis are the decisive factors in the regional balance of power.
