On #Israel facing major conflicts in the region with states and non-state actors, #Israeli  minister @NirBarkat  says, "Unfortunately, we have neighbours that are jihadists. It's a holy war, they want to destroy Israel... The only hope to reshape the #MiddleEast is that they recognize the State of Israel and they understand that rather than building tunnels and terror, they want to build Dubai and cities and towers and jobs. We want to see our neighbours build Dubai and not #Gaza . We want to have peace like #Dubai. We want to expand the Abraham Accord to include the Saudis, Indonesia and other modern Arab states that are seeking to create win-win deals. They are not jihadists. They seek peace and collaboration and so the challenge is in the hands of our neighbors. They have to decide - #Lebanon has to decide, do they want to free themselves from Hezbollah, which is an Iranian proxy aimed against the State of Israel... They have to decide where they're headed. If they head for peace, we'll expand the Abraham Accord. We will find a way to collaborate with them. But if they continue with the goal of trying to target Israel and throw us off the sea, it's not going to work and they're going to be in deep trouble, because we understand we will not allow another October 7 to happen..."
