The normalization agreement that is expected to be concluded between Israel and the United Arab Emirates establishes a strategic alliance between the two countries, while the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is promoting it as an economic window that will open new markets for Israeli companies and formally establish cooperation between the two countries in the fields of research, medicine and technology.

Regional attention is directed to the first public visit of the head of the Mossad, Yossi Cohen, at the head of the Israeli mission to the UAE, next week, and he will meet with senior officials in the Abu Dhabi government, where the normalization agreement between the two countries is likely to be signed.

In preparation for the mission’s visit, the Cabinet's Security and Political Affairs Cabinet, "Cabinet", will hold a session this week to determine the identity of the members of the mission that will travel to the UAE, which will include, along with the head of the Mossad, representatives from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Security and the National Security Council in the Prime Minister’s office, and the National Security Adviser, Meir Bin Shabat, whom Netanyahu appointed as coordinator of various government ministries with the Emirates.

Heart of Conflict
Under the title "The agreement with the UAE puts Israel at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East," Zvi Barel, an Arab affairs analyst for Haaretz newspaper, wrote an article in which he addressed the meanings and connotations of the economic and political Israeli-Emirati alliance and intelligence cooperation between the two countries, and its security implications for The essence of regional conflict.

Barel believes that the agreement places Israel within the alliance of the axis against Iran and the countries that are militarily and politically involved in regional conflicts, wars and movements in the Middle East region, and thus also places them in the circle of targeting.

According to the Israeli analyst's point of view, the UAE has developed over the past five years and turned into a small regional power, and it is also a partner in the war in Yemen. It works with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, France and Russia against Turkey and Qatar in the Libyan arena, and renews diplomatic relations with the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.

 Turkey and Iran
The Arab affairs analyst believes that the UAE is planning with Israel, Egypt and Lebanon for the "Mediterranean gas" project, to extend a pipeline to transport gas from the Israeli, Egyptian, Cypriot and Lebanese fields to Europe and Italy. It aims to compete and even harm the Turkish project to transport oil and gas from Libya to Europe, after the signing of the strategic alliance between Turkey and Libya.

The Emirati activity of the alliance with Israel to limit Turkey's influence in the eastern Mediterranean and Libya does not stop, according to the Israeli analyst, "3 years ago, when Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE imposed a blockade on Qatar, and Turkey enlisted to help it, and sent it an urgent air train of foodstuffs and basic commodities, and it established A military base in Doha, where the UAE and the blockading countries condemned the Turkish role and approach towards Qatar.

Harel added, "It is no wonder that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's response to the agreement between Israel and the UAE was more severe than Iran's response, as he stated that he was considering cutting ties with Abu Dhabi, while Iran was content to condemn the agreement and did not threaten to cut ties. This is because Iran needs the UAE." As a transit terminal for goods, and because it hosts 3,000 Iranian companies, many of which are controlled by the Revolutionary Guards. "

Strategic interests
From the security and intelligence point of view, the military analyst at Yediot Aharonot newspaper, Alex Fishman, asserts that the official announcement of normalization between Israel and the UAE reveals the truth and the scenes of the secret relations between the two countries that have known ups and downs since the Oslo agreement, so that this agreement will not It changes the nature and size of the security trade exchange between the two countries

The Israeli military analyst emphasized that the clear and common strategic interest of the two countries lies in joint cooperation against Iran, the Lebanese Hezbollah, armed organizations and global jihad movements such as the Islamic State, so that the beneficiaries over the past two decades from these interests and cooperation are the Israeli military industries.

Fishman believes that this alliance and normalization of relations will allow Israel to strengthen its economic and military presence in the Gulf region, especially that Abu Dhabi is looking to be a producer of weapons through modernization and development projects for old weapons, as the Israeli industries specialized in modernizing and developing F-16 aircraft will be openly active in the UAE.

The threat to Iran
As for everything related to the nature of relations and military deals between the two countries, Fishman points out that Tel Aviv views the UAE and some Gulf countries with which it has secret relations as countries that are not enemies and do not pose a threat to Israel.

The military analyst asserts that the agreement and alliance with the UAE will contribute to the expansion of the Israeli strategic vehicles to confront the Iranian threat to Israel in Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, and have turned it into a threat arena that will find itself through the official Israeli presence in the Emirates threatened, and for that to be effective, Fishman says, "There must be cooperation. Intelligence between Israel and the UAE, and it appears that this cooperation has been in place for some time. "

He explained that opening the main gate of the UAE to Israel would make Iran more exposed to the eyes and ears of Israel, which would weaken the Iranian alliance and the Shiite axis that poses a threat.

Intelligence relations and
perhaps what reflects the depth of the hidden security and intelligence cooperation between the two countries, the interview conducted by the Arab and Palestinian affairs correspondent for Israeli Channel 12, Ohad Hamo, with the former Dubai police chief, Dhahi Khalfan, who revealed the details of the assassination of the Israeli Mossad, a leader in Hamas, Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh In the year 2011 in a hotel in the Emirate of Dubai, where the assassination of Al-Mabhouh was considered a strategic mistake of the Mossad.

Khalfan explained that the Mossad thought that the assassination team of Al-Mabhouh in Dubai would not be revealed, saying, "Perhaps the Mossad carried out such operations in other countries, but they were not revealed, while in the Emirates the assassination team was revealed, and we in the police have succeeded in uncovering them since The moment they enter Dubai until the departure. "

Khalfan commented on the public normalization of Israeli-Emirati relations, saying that "the agreement is very important, as the option of peace is the prevailing strategy in the Middle East region, which is tired and no longer tolerates tensions, wars and hatred between countries."

Khalfan appeared hesitant to disclose the quality of the intelligence relationship between the two countries, but he was confident of his readiness to inform the Israeli intelligence with information to prevent and thwart any bombing operation inside a restaurant in Tel Aviv if he had information in this regard, but he said that he had no desire to meet with Mossad chief Cohen, who will visit the UAE soon. .
