An Israeli analyst has suggested that Turkey and Pakistan may emerge as Israel’s primary rivals in the future, replacing Iran. Writing in the Israeli daily Maariv, analyst Boaz Golani argued that Iran’s prolonged economic crisis and the toll of ongoing conflicts have weakened its military capacity, potentially shifting the regional balance of power. He described this as part of a broader transformation in the Middle East’s geopolitical landscape.
Golani noted that both Turkey and Pakistan are large, Sunni-majority nations with strong militaries and established ties with the United States, factors that make them significant players from Israel’s perspective. Recent tensions between Israel and Turkey have intensified over the Gaza war and influence in Syria, with leaders from both sides exchanging sharp remarks. Pakistan, meanwhile, has maintained a critical stance toward Israel, with its defense minister recently labeling Israel as a threat to humanity before deleting the statement.
Golani cautioned that once Israel’s conflict with Iran subsides, it must prepare for potential direct confrontations with new adversaries, warning that either alternative would pose serious challenges.
