Reserve Lt. Col. Amit Yagur said Monday morning that the Gulf states are aligned with the United States on an 'opportunity axis,' providing a foundation for expanding the Abraham Accords, and cautioned against the assertion that the U.S. has 'flipped' on Israel, according to a Channel 14 broadcast.
Reserve Lt. Col. Amit Yagur, speaking Monday morning on Channel 14, addressed the strategic landscape following the emerging U.S.-Iran alignment. Yagur argued that while Israeli discourse focuses on threats, the opportunity axis with Gulf states — which remain aligned with Washington — offers a basis for deepening the Abraham Accords. He urged caution regarding the prevailing argument that the United States has completely reversed its position on Israel, suggesting such certainty may be premature.
Yagur's remarks add to an ongoing debate among Israeli security commentators about the Trump administration's direction toward Iran and its regional implications. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Yagur has assessed that Trump's conciliatory posture toward an Iran deal seems inconsistent with his personal style, and has previously called for rapidly advancing the IMEC corridor as a strategic hedge.
