Prime Minister Netanyahu lays out vision for “hexagon” of alliances with India, moderate Arab states, African nations, and Mediterranean allies to form a bulwark against both the Iranian axis and radical Sunni Islam.By World Israel News StaffIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans on Sunday to form an international alliance against radical Islam, forming a bulwark against both the Iranian-centered Shi’ite axis and the radical Sunni axis.Netanyahu laid out his vision while addressing ministers at the opening of the weekly government meeting, during which he touted his ties with the Trump administration.“We have a unique and, in my opinion, historic alliance with the United States, both nation-to-nation and through my personal relationship with President Trump,” Netanyahu said. “This alliance does not mean that we are not seeking additional alliances; on the contrary, we are cultivating them constantly.”The prime minister highlighted his “special relationship” with his Indian counterpart, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding that India could become a major partner in a new alliance to counter radical Islam.That alliance, Netanyahu predicted, will span Europe, Asia, and Africa, bringing together countries including Israel, India, Greece, and moderate Arab states.“I want to say something regarding the diplomatic aspect: In the vision I see before me, we will create an entire system, essentially a ‘hexagon’ of alliances around or within the Middle East.”“This includes India, Arab nations, African nations, Mediterranean nations (Greece and Cyprus), and nations in Asia that I won’t detail at the moment. I will present this in an organized manner.”“The intention here is to create an axis of nations that see eye-to-eye on the reality, challenges, and goals against the radical axes, both the radical Shia axis, which we have struck very hard, and the emerging radical Sunni axis.”“All of these nations share a different perception, and our cooperation can yield great results and, of course, ensure our resilience and our future.”The post Israel to form global alliance against radical Islam, says Netanyahu appeared first on World Israel News.
