Arab countries' limited expectations of Israel

Israeli elections have historically allowed candidates to discuss Israel's role in the Middle East, especially after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks. Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed a desire to reshape the region to align with Israeli interests, aiming for a 'Pax Hebraica' supported by US military aid. The recent elections on October 27 did not yield a clear winner between Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot, with their differences primarily affecting Israeli citizens. However, Netanyahu's ambitions highlighted regional tensions, particularly against the backdrop of Iran's influence and the Abraham Accords. Israel's strategic depth pursuits have complicated relations with Lebanon and Syria, impacting regional stability.
