Former National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata reportedly said in a closed conversation Wednesday that the India-Middle East-Europe (IMEC) trade corridor, if realized through Israel and the Gulf states, would create a robust regional alliance against Iran and anyone attempting to sabotage the route. The statement, attributed to the source 'Abu Bader', adds a high-level former official's voice to the strategic debate surrounding the corridor.
IMEC has been a recurring topic in Israeli discourse. The Zioneer has previously covered analysts and officials arguing that the corridor can bypass the Strait of Hormuz, sideline Iran, and strengthen Israel's regional standing. Hulata's assessment — that the project would yield a concrete anti-Iran bloc — aligns with the broader strategic framing but carries the weight of his former role as head of the National Security Council.
The corridor remains in the planning stage, with competing tracks reportedly involving Turkey and Syria. The extent of international backing and the timeline for implementation are not yet firm.
