Israel and UAE risk further fracturing of the Middle East
Update: 2026-01-01
Description
If Israel and the United Arab Emirates have their way, 2026 promises to be a year of further fracturing of the Greater Middle East.
Israel’s strategy is to balkanise, if not break up states, while the UAE’s approach is to capitalise on opportunities failed states offer, much as Iran did with its support for militant non-state actors in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, and the toppled regime of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
