Security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted on X that Syria is likely to join what he described as a 'NATO of the Middle East' alliance, and that Israel must contemplate how to preserve its freedom of action when the alliance constrains regional operations. The assessment adds to Goldblatt's previous analyses of the shifting Middle Eastern alliance landscape. He has previously argued that Israel is already part of the US-Iran campaign and that Gulf states need to understand the region's dynamics. The specific alliance referred to was not named in the post.
