For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

The Middle East : Emerging Counter-Balancing Alliances : Israel at War

On the eve of Israel’s Independence Day, the most prominent feature of its own statehood as well as of the entire Middle East is the inter-dependence of all regional entities, both among local partners and with global powers.

Two main groups have emerged, based on common interests and rivalries. The first group is comprised of a US-led moderate camp, which includes Israel and the Sunni Arab states, and the other group is a more diverse camp which includes Russia, China, Iran, Hezbollah, Syria, the Houthis and Hamas – with some actors, such as Iraq and Turkey, squeezed between and moving in and out of them. Are these permanent alliances, or just temporary products of expediency? Joining us to dissect this dynamic situation:
