Political analyst Or Ben Yechzekel argues that Israel is part of a counter-alliance including Ethiopia, Greece, India, the UAE, and Cyprus, all threatened by the same Islamist axis. He says the alliance's technological and economic edge may keep the US on Israel's side in certain cases, but warns that US support is no longer automatic due to shifting American public opinion and the rise of the Muslim electorate in the US.
Political analyst Or Ben Yechzekel, writing on the 301 Arab World the source, offered a geopolitical assessment of Israel's strategic position. According to Ben Yechzekel, Israel is part of a counter-alliance that includes Ethiopia, Greece, India, the United Arab Emirates, and Cyprus, all of which face a common Islamist threat. He described the alliance as superior economically and technologically, including one nuclear state (India) and another with a textile industry (a reference to the UAE). Ben Yechzekel argued that while the United States may not automatically stand with Israel due to declining American public commitment and the rise of the Muslim electorate in the US, the anti-Islamist axis's advantages could still bring Washington to Israel's side in certain cases. He cautioned that Israel would need to work harder to maintain US support. The analysis reflects a view from within Israeli strategic discourse.
