Iran built a “ring of fire” around Israel. Now that’s gone, and an Israeli defense perimeter that long focused on “three circles of hostility” now has a fourth circle, but of friendship.
An outstanding article by General Yoav Gallant! Thank you, Dr. Martin for publishing it! Israel is indeed changing the map around Iran and boxing them in. The historic export agreement between Israel and Greece is emblematic of what Israel can offer other nations. Achilles Shield is a model for the kind of first-rate defense technology Israel has to offer. It gives the Greeks an integrated defense network similar to Israel's pioneering David's Sling, SPYDER, and Barak MX systems. Israel will mold the brave men and women of Greece's Hellenic Air Force into first rate pilots. The Greek people can sleepy easily at night knowing they have a defense system that can protect them against any attack. The Hellenic military will become on the best militaries in the world with the IDF providing their invaluable expertise to them! Israel is surrounded by three circles of hostility. However, there is now a fourth circle, but this is not one of hostility, but one of allies who will stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel in its time of need and will peacefully collaborate and trade with the nation state of the Jewish people. Israel has five loyal strategic allies in India, the United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan, Greece, and Cyprus.
They work together to form an iron wall against Islamist terrorism. All of these nations see Jihadism as the serious threat that is and they know Israel is the one to go to for assistance in fighting this great evil. India deals with Islamic fundamentalist terrorism coming out of Pakistan. The United Arab Emirates has taken a firm stance against religious extremism. Azerbaijan is hated by Iran in part because it has prospered while maintaining a pluralistic and tolerant approach to religion. Greece and Cyprus have lived with Turkish pressure for decades. All of them consider the United States their strategic anchor, not Moscow or Beijing. All five countries share with Israel a real and mutual foundation: energy, intelligence, technology, industry, and tourism. This alliance could also lead to peace and normalization between Israel and Turkey as Azerbaijan is the only country trusted by both Jerusalem and Ankara. On another note, Israel has shown with its unbelievable performance in the Gaza War reducing Hamas, Hezbollah and The Houthis to shells of their former selves and by absolutely pulverizing Iran that they are THE undisputed regional power in the Middle East without question! An Israeli-Palestinian Peace Accords and a two-state solution is not happening anytime soon. At best, it is fifty-years away.
A Palestinian state is a pipe dream at this point. Hamas attacking Israel on October 7th set the Palestinian cause back decades. The Palestinian people need to wake up and realize that their real oppressor is their own government and their so-called Arab brothers who have a REAL apartheid system against them. They are responsible for their plight in the past and the present. The key to Palestinian liberation IS peace with Israel. The Palestinian people need to have an epiphany and come to see that the key to their liberation and their salvation is Israel and the Jewish people! In the wake of the horrors of October 7th and bloodshed and destruction of the Gaza War, Israel must do everything possible to protect itself and its citizens! Here is what I believe they should do. Israel must prioritize taking care of the survivors of October 7th, the former hostages and their families. The state should provide them with medical, mental health and psychological resources and the Israeli government should issue an official apology and pay them reparations for failing to keep them safe on October 7th. I have faith in the Gaza Peace Plan and the GITA will ensure that Gaza and Hamas will NOT pose a threat to Israel. But if the peace plan doesn’t work, Israel must undo the crucial mistake made with the disengagement, annex Gaza and reoccupy and resettle it. Israel must assert FULL sovereignty over the West Bank and expel the Palestinian Authority. The Oslo framework should be discarded as it has been failure now for decades. Israel should reoccupy Southern Lebanon, with the permission of the Egyptian government should set up a buffer zone in the Sinai, develop and settle the Negev, the Galilee, and the Golan Heights to take the pressure off the center of the country, build the E1 settlement, and expand the settlements in East Jerusalem.
This is awesome!! Thank you for posting.
