Following Israel’s recent strike in Qatar that escalated regional tensions, the Egyptian Government was about to initiate a bold initiative to revive the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)-style joint Arab military force, with the aim of creating a rapid-reaction defense umbrella for Arab states.
According to a report by the Jerusalem Post on Sunday 14, September, 2025, several Arabian media outlet, reported that President the President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was actively rebuilding support for a force capable of deploying swiftly to protect any Arab nation under attack, ahead of a critical Arab-Islamic summit in Doha on Monday and reflects a seismic shift in the Middle East’s security architecture following the ongoing prolonged conflict between Israel, and the Palestinian nationalist Sunni Islamist political organization, which is known as Hamas that resulted in the death of tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
The Arabian media outlet framed the plan of President the President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to actively rebuild support for a force capable of deploying swiftly to protect any Arab nation under attack as a defensive measure rather than a direct provocation toward Israel, aiming to provide collective security, with another Palestinian media outlet, reporting that Egypt was prepared to contribute approximately twenty thousand troops, and insisted on placing an Egyptian four-star general in overall command, with Saudi Arabia slated as a principal partner and potential deputy commander.See, More, Here>>>>
In another related development Israeli opposition leader, and the Chairman of Yesh Atid Party, Yair Lapid condemned the proposal, branding it as a severe blow to the peace agreement that follows recent diplomatic setbacks for Israel, stating “The report about Egypt’s proposal to establish a joint Arab force in response to the Israeli strikes is a severe blow to the peace agreements. It comes immediately after the severe blow to the Abraham Accords, which itself came right after the overwhelming majority of countries that were once Israel’s allies voted in favor of establishing a Palestinian state.”
