We reported tonight (@ItayBlumental and I): The dialogue that has been taking place in recent months between Israel and the Gulf state of Kuwait in light of the Iranian attacks against it. Israeli Ambassador to the Emirates, Yossi Shelly, told Kan News Network B this week that within a few months another country is expected to join the Abraham Accords. According to him, "Maybe Kuwait is the next swallow." The words of the ambassador to the Emirates, who is close to the prime minister, also caused a lot of resonance in Kuwait, a country that, at least declaratively, is not really fond of Israel. Tonight we report that in recent months, according to a source familiar with the matter, there has been dialogue between Israel and Kuwait in light of the repeated Iranian attacks against it. This dialogue is obviously taking place away from the spotlight. A former minister in the Kuwaiti government tells me Kan News: "It's a WIN WIN if there is cooperation between the Gulf states with Israel to curb the common enemies and maintain the security and stability of those countries." According to him, "There is no longer any room to ask who the enemy of the Gulf states is and whether it is Iran or Israel, especially in light of Iran's ongoing attacks against the Gulf states, while Israel is attacking Iran and destroying many of its military capabilities that could be directed against its neighbors." And yet, despite these optimistic words, even this evening, it seems that the discourse is more security-oriented and normalization is still not within reach.

Israeli ambassador to UAE claims that another country will join to Abram Accords within months, and some believe it would be Kuwait

The interview that the Israeli ambassador to the Emirates gave yesterday to @ReshetBet on the #InternationalTime program, with the statement that within a few months another country is expected to join the Abraham Accords, is causing quite a stir, even among Kuwaitis after he mentioned Kuwait as being closer to Israel after the Iranian attacks against it.

Turkey and Israel have been conducting indirect contacts for the past year and a half, through Azerbaijan, which have been suspended in recent months amid increasing tensions between the countries, according to a report in Kan News. "Turkey is an adversary of Israel in all arenas, but I don't think there is an interest in an exchange of fire between the sides, neither for Turkey nor for Israel," said a political source. @gilicohen10

Bangladesh, Egypt, Syria… so many regional countries rumored to be considering the Article 5-style agreement with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey. • • If there was any hope of Abraham Accords expansion after Iran’s attacks on Gulf countries, it’s quickly faded.

Geopolitical messages that MBS is sending • • - Instead of Abraham accords, it is Mecca accords • • - Instead of a GCC defense pact, Saudi Arabia is looking to Turkey, Pakistan • • Turns page on alliance w UAE + anti-Islamist approach. Still doesn’t mean Turkey alliance; Egypt stayed out

Turkey has caught up with us Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed a trilateral defense agreement in Mecca. In fact, this is Turkey's accession to the bilateral defense agreement signed between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in September 2025. As then, Pakistan announced that according to the agreement, any attack against one of the three countries will be considered an attack against all of them. The agreement, the full details of which have not been published, is expected to have various implications, surrounding: Saudi Arabia's dealing with the Iranian threat to its energy infrastructure (the Iranian attacks against it in the war did not lead to military intervention by Pakistan despite the defense agreement between them from September); the expanding exchange of blows between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, who imposed a blockade on the kingdom in the Red Sea; The expansion of Pakistan's influence in the Gulf after Kuwait also ratified a security cooperation agreement with it about a week ago; and the impact on Turkish foreign policy in the Middle East and its relations with Iran. All of these will be expressed in the future, and we will still have to study them. The same applies to the implications of the agreement for Israel, which are still too early to determine. But... on a regional-strategic level, I think it can already be said that this is another problematic development, which the government's short-sighted policy contributed to. From the perspective of a regional balance of power, this is a problematic development for Israel. Four poles stand out in the Middle East today: Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran. Israel's gradual escape from the pit of October 7 and the multi-front war, Turkey's increasing weight, especially after the fall of Assad in Syria, and the attacks on Iran and its proxies have changed the balance of power between the poles. A connection between Saudi Arabia and Turkey [which is a magnificent "flick" after the rift between them in the Khashoggi affair!] is apparently perceived by the two regional powers as a move that balances Israel's power. Thus, while an Israeli-Saudi connection could have been a game changer, creating Iran's steps, a Saudi rapprochement with Turkey could actually strengthen the Turkish-Qatari Sunni axis, which threatens Jordan, Egypt, and the Emirates. It seems that the agreement between Riyadh and Ankara, It further delays normalization with Saudi Arabia – the most essential strategic development for strengthening Israel’s position and integration in the region – which has been “shelved” on the shelf for the time being. It is very possible that the agreement is an expression of a missed opportunity in the coming years at least, against the backdrop of the perception of Arab countries, led by Saudi Arabia, that see Israel as an aggressive state that strives to expand and undermines regional stability. The bottom line is that there is “no vacuum” in the geopolitics of the Middle East. The “elephant in a china shop” policy in the region, adopted by the Israeli government, led to the freezing of normalization moves and the organization of a moderate camp in the region. This, in a way that paved the way for the emergence and entry of new players, not always positive. Shabbat Shalom

We reported in the edition: New details on the effort to include normalization with Saudi Arabia in the American agreement with Riyadh. In recent days, Israel has been exerting significant pressure on the American administration to include the issue of normalization with Saudi Arabia in the framework of the understandings surrounding the civil nuclear agreement. According to sources familiar with the matter, for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this is not only a strategic move but also a significant political goal. According to the same sources, Netanyahu says in closed conversations that he is interested in achieving the "next big thing" - a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia even before the elections. The issue of the Saudi civil nuclear program also came up in the Prime Minister's meeting with President Donald Trump, and according to a senior political source, it was Trump who linked the issue to the expansion of the Abraham Accords, "and it's good that it did." Netanyahu himself hinted at this before leaving for Washington, when he said that one of the goals of his visit was to "expand the circle of peace." Expanding the Abraham Accords is one of Trump's flagship foreign policy goals, and Jerusalem is trying to leverage this ambition. Furthermore, President Trump still dreams of winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and achieving this goal could significantly help his chances.

White House Spokesperson Caroline Leavitt: Trump confirms that the civilian nuclear energy agreement with Saudi Arabia is contingent upon its joining the Abraham Accords; failure to join will nullify the agreement. The proposed civilian nuclear agreement with Riyadh prioritizes American companies and puts Washington's interests first.
