Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a proposal to the United States to create a security alliance in the Middle East. According to him, similar to NATO.

The politician announced the corresponding initiative during his speech in the US Congress on Wednesday, July 24. This is reported by Channel 24 with reference to an entry published on the Washington Post channel.

Israeli Prime Minister proposes creating an analogue of NATO

Netanyahu noted that after World War II, the United States created a security alliance in Europe to counter the growing Soviet threat, meaning NATO.

According to him, a similar alliance could be created in the Middle East to counter the Iranian threat.

Similarly (as was the case after World War II – Channel 24), the United States and Israel can forge such a security alliance in the Middle East to counter the growing Iranian threat.

The Prime Minister also proposed calling this alliance the Abraham Alliance, referring to the “Abraham Accords” Israel signed in 2020 and 2021 with a number of Arab countries to normalize relations.

Let us remember that on July 24, Netanyahu plans to meet with presidential candidate Donald Trump. However, obviously, the main purpose of his visit to the United States is to meet with President Joe Biden and speak in the United States Congress.

At the same time, Israel and Hezbollah are on the verge of a new conflict, which could affect Ukraine. Business Insider warned that if things escalate, Israel will need more ammunition, which will affect arms supplies to Ukraine.
