Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended a secret summit in Dubai with representatives from 10 countries that produced draft agreements on a Gulf-to-Mediterranean oil route through Eilat, joint military installations and regional economic arrangements, Haaretz reported.
The gathering included officials from Saudi Arabia, the United States, Morocco, Kuwait, Bahrain, Libya, Oman and Egypt, according to the report. Together with the UAE and Israel, the participants totaled 10 nations. A confidential document was drafted establishing an "Abraham Alliance," conceived as a Middle East equivalent to NATO.
The summit addressed an oil corridor from the Gulf through Eilat to the Mediterranean, joint military bases in Socotra (an island off Yemen) and Somaliland (a breakaway region in the Horn of Africa), and economic compensation for Egypt due to anticipated lost Suez Canal revenue. An immigration plan involving Libya was also discussed, the report stated. JFeed has not independently verified the claims.
The proposed oil route would position Eilat as a critical energy hub linking Gulf producers to European markets, potentially reshaping regional trade flows and reducing dependence on the Suez Canal. Egypt is separately advancing a 500-kilometre rail line across Sinai to the Israeli border, a parallel infrastructure push Israeli security officials are monitoring closely.
