Egypt has renewed efforts to push for a NATO-style military alliance that would protect Arab countries facing attack, Lebanon’s Al-Akhbar newspaper reported on September 13, citing an unnamed official in Cairo.
The proposal was first made some nine years ago by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, but no progress was made at the time.
Al-Akhbar suggested that Israel’s recent strike on the leadership of Hamas in Qatar has given new impetus to the Egyptian initiative.
Egypt is proposing to include some 20,000 of its own troops in the NATO-style alliance and is working on developing the mechanism by which such a force would be activated, “allowing it to be used when necessary and forming it in a manner consistent with the populations of Arab countries and their armed forces, while taking into account regional and political balances in the formation, whether in terms of the inclusion of military personnel from countries such as Morocco and Algeria, or sharing command positions,” the Egyptian official told the newspaper.
“Cairo wants to retain the first command position while granting the second to Saudi Arabia or one of the Gulf states,” he added.
The strike on Qatar sent shockwaves throughout the Arab and Islamic worlds, as the country has relations with Israel and has been even engaged in facilitating talks with Hamas.
Arab media reports later suggested that Israel was considering targeting Hamas leadership in Turkey and separately received a warning from Egypt against acting in any such way in its territories. Just like Qatar, both countries have relations with Israel.
Commenting on Al-Akhbar report, leading Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said on X that the Egyptian initiative poses “a painful blow to the peace agreements, which came immediately after the painful blow to the Abraham Accords, which came immediately after the overwhelming majority of Israel’s allied countries voted in favor of establishing a Palestinian state.”
“This [Israeli] government has undermined our international standing. A deadly combination of irresponsibility, amateurism, and arrogance is tearing us apart in the world. They must be replaced before it’s too late,” he added.
Separately, Qatar announced that it will be hosting a summit of Arab and Muslim leaders to denounce the recent Israeli strike.
The meeting on September 15 will consider “a draft resolution on the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar” to be drafted a day earlier at a ministerial meeting, according to foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari.
The official Qatar News Agency quoted the spokesman as saying that the summit reflects “broad Arab and Islamic solidarity with the State of Qatar in the face of Israel’s cowardly aggression… and the categorical rejection of Israel’s state terrorism.”
Among the leaders attending the summit will be Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will also be in Qatar at the time, but his presence at the meeting is yet to be confirmed.
While the scope of the upcoming summit goes beyond the Arab world, the Egyptian initiative could still be discussed there.
All in all, the Egyptian initiative is very ambitious. Similar plans never took off in the past, even those which suggested an Arab-Israeli military alliance with direct backing from the United States. While the situation today is way different as the Arab world is facing unprecedented escalation, there is a very small chance the initiative will succeed.
First, Israel is guaranteed to stand against any such alliance and will act against it, at least indirectly. Second, many Arab countries will fear that a NATO-style force could eventually be used to justify military interventions for the purpose of regime change.

arabs are too busy cutting each other’s throats. forgive the pun.
if they were able to ally themselves, they would have years ago.
the biggest problem with arabs is the emirates, saudis and jordan, egypt…the love of american filthy dollars is greater than justice for palestine and the islamic world. these fools do not know this filthy american dollar trash is not worth anything meaningful. they cling onto this like it means everything to them. the monarchies will be overthrown and replaced by anti zionism in the future once they realize zionism is satanism
they do know, that’s why they invest it trillions in development, in foreign real estate, companies, and rare metals. they’re also trying to create alternate economies to oil. they see the writing on the wall. many countries are just waiting for the american hegemony to collapse. and then they will pivot more heavily towards china.
egypt has been building up a its conventional military force heavily for a few years now and israelis have always considered it a threat despite their “cordial” relationship.
maybe egypt will move up the list in priority for the judeo-masons and they will be targeted for regime change, so they can create the next syria or lybia failed-state (via “colour-revolution”.)
the jooz want egyptian territory, sinai and a large chunk of land in eastern egypt.
arab sunnis need to work through their differences and stop being dummies for zionism. their best strength is banding together and embragoing, sanctioning and punishing israel. the settler entity can feel pain from combined arab sunni might and will buckle quickly once it knows it has very few dummies to rely on in the region
they will only ever work together to stab fellow moslems in the back. they’ve been doing this for hundreds of years and there’s no reason to expect anything different. in 1099 the crusaders took jerusalem and massacred the inhabitants. they were only able to do this because there was a sunni/ shia civil war at the time. sound familiar? in 1973 the iraqi army stood with syria and fought against israhell on the golan heights. syria repaid this favour
by joining in the us invasion of iraq in 1991. most arab dictatorships plotted and schemed to destroy syria by flooding the country with hundreds of thousands of head choppers. they poured billions into this. there are countless other examples. recently the quisling “emir” of qatar gave chumpo a luxury airliner, loaded him down with gold and diamonds and promised to invest over $1 trillion in the jewsa – without sending a single loaf of bread
to the starving in gaza. he normalised relations with israhell and allowed the jooz to use an overland route through qatar to import goods to circumvent the houthi blockade. his reward? terror bombing by the jooz in collusion with chumpo with the starmer regime supplying refuelling aircraft. sisi will do jack s**t – he is not even a joke. he is a cringing whore serving zio interests.
probably a good idea, to not be wiped out by rabies infected germans and khazars. that the peoples exposed for the “us” nazis unite against them. every country with more than two coconut trees should have at least 1000 “nukes” directed at “us”. if “nukes” existed…
how can we trust these vermin? before they even begin, they already assign themselves the first role and the second to the saudis! knowing that these two countries are led by jews and are their puppets! not very credible. knowing that these two countries have allied to attack yemen
blah blah this, blah blah that, talk, talk, talk, from those who already sold out. one might wonder who they would ally with and against. they have a really great track record of treason against the ummah, why would anyone trust where this alliance would look for the money they now take from the u.s.? and what does that money buy? security or fear? gulf states should get what they’ve sown, just as israel is. they want protection from their own allies who bought them long ago. tfb.
they who really have sold out are the russians, which try to censor newtons laws in north america. it looks like the worst dummies for zionism are russians 😂 its disgusting to see. be aware of a extreme falsehood from russia towards muslims. they cant admit how evil the christians are 😂 if cia was connected to the crocus hall massacre, they will defend them. and what have happen countless times, are not root causes. oh, no ! no bad empire in sight !
a good idea, but it’s a little too late now.
the islamic world should simply adhere more strictly to what our creator has prescribed for us, then muslims would be invincible. the problem today is that so-called muslims have made money their religion.
and that have of course not happen in “us”, russia, “israel” or china 😂
1- you make your secret arab “nato”
2- you get nukes
3- you tell the world and israhell
aka: not going to happen. arab world is full of cowards and traitors
you have a shitty security in arab/muslim countries (yet some have more ambitions, no israeli attacks on algeria or pakistan – then you import a shitty concept (nato) – everything is fine! lmao!
nafo is so shitty that during the cold war they have this thing called “operation gladio” (to try to sabotage soviet troops after they invaded) in fact they used operation gladio to destroy any opposition inside western europe, because soviet union unfortunately never heard the words of marshall zhukov! they had the certainty of a soviet victory against their armed forces… and this time they were right! even “neutral” countries participated: sweden and switzerland…never neutral at all!
at the same time olof palme speak about “satans mördare” he created secret forces for them. its the noblesse working party, that einschluss us first to cia’s “eu”, and then to the genocide organization nato, after it had mass murder in the hospitals. its the systemic failure tolkien points at, they are mad after power, and get insane when they get power.
egypt has lost two wars to israel in living memory and they can always lose a third. when you’re egypt, you never talk about war, because it always ends badly. especially against israel. maybe declare war on the cat, or something.
the only reason it ends badly is because the goy whores bought and blackmailed by epstein serve the zionist mafia regime and fight all its wars for it. without unlimited amerikunt money and free weapons and direct fighting for it the genocidal joo regime could not last a single day. every bomb, every bullet, every plane supplied free by the goy taxpayer.
sisi is the biggest joo c***sucker in the middle east. a quisling whore dictator serving zio interests. he has never, and will never, lift a finger against israhell. he stands by and never utters a word as zio aircraft use egyptian air space to slaughter hundreds of thousands just over his border in the gaza genocide. he has not lifted a finger to get any aid into gaza. he has suppressed any egyptians who protest about the joo genocide. he is just an obedient kapo
for the joo concentration camp in gaza. he is a worthless piece of cringing, servile human sewage.
the great con called the petro dollar made many middle east nations submit as beta nations. false coalitions built on lies and corruption will not stand the test of time. the arab spring only installed dictatorship. for now.
example = the shaw of iran. was temporary
