Deep dives

Changes in Israeli Regional Dynamics

The changing dynamics of Israel's relationships with its neighbors present new strategic opportunities. The border with Egypt is now internationally monitored, offering Israel a stable partnership that could enhance its security posture. The situation has also altered Israel's position regarding the Golan Heights, which it captured decades ago and now sees as fertile land beneficial for agricultural self-sufficiency. With Syria weakened, Israel has more room to maneuver politically and militarily, diminishing the influence of Iranian-backed entities like Hezbollah in the region.
