On February 22, 2026, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled a strategic “hexagon” of regional and global alliances during a cabinet meeting in Jerusalem. The vision focuses on strengthening Israel’s ties across six key pillars: the United States, India, Arab nations, Mediterranean countries, and selected states in Africa and Asia. Netanyahu emphasized that while the relationship with the United States remains a “historic alliance,” Israel is actively cultivating an axis of nations that share a common goal of countering both radical Shia and emerging radical Sunni influences in the region.

A major highlight of the strategy is the upcoming visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi this Wednesday. Netanyahu noted that the relationship with India has grown significantly tighter, with the two leaders set to finalize major agreements on economic, diplomatic, and security cooperation. The summit will specifically focus on cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence and quantum computing, as Israel aims to maintain its position among the world’s leading technological powers.

On the domestic front, Netanyahu announced plans for new housing developments in the Negev and near Kiryat Gat. These projects are specifically designed to address the growing housing needs of the Orthodox (Haredi) community. Netanyahu described these initiatives as part of a broader “immense development momentum” aimed at ensuring national resilience. The strategy reflects a shift toward multi-polar diplomacy, where Israel seeks to balance its traditional Western ties with emerging power centers in the East and South.
