Netanyahu unveils new security doctrine and regional map

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has introduced a new national security doctrine centered on preemptive strikes and the creation of buffer zones to secure Israel's borders. As part of this presentation, Netanyahu unveiled a map dividing the Middle East into competing blocs.

In this map, Israel and the United Arab Emirates are depicted as members of a ‘hexagonal coalition’ alongside Greece, Ethiopia, and parts of India. The map also aligns the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in southwest Sudan with this group. The RSF, led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, has faced accusations of genocide in Darfur, and while reports have suggested UAE support for the group, the UAE has officially denied such claims.

A separate ‘diamond coalition’ is shown including Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. The new doctrine emphasizes prioritizing prevention and aggression over containment and defense to solidify Israel’s position as a regional power.
