Netanyahu Proposes 'Hexagon' Alliance Including India Amid Regional Tensions

Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed a 'hexagon of alliances' aimed at countering what he terms the 'radical Shia axis' in the Middle East. The proposed bloc includes Israel, India, Greece, Cyprus, and other nations. Pakistan's Senate has condemned the plan, describing it as a threat to Muslim unity and regional stability. This development occurs amid rising regional tensions and Pakistan's own strategic agreement with Saudi Arabia, often referred to as an 'Islamic NATO.'
