Israel fights Palestine and no one helps; Israel fights Lebanon and no one helps; Israel fights the Houthis and no one helps; Israel fights Syria and no one helps.
Israeli military operations against Palestine began with Hamas attacks in October 2023, when Israeli air and ground forces entered Gaza and destroyed Hamas facilities, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians. Arab countries such as Egypt and Jordan condemned Israel's excessive use of force, but Egypt only opened limited aid channels and did not send troops to help.
Jordan provided diplomatic pressure, but no practical military intervention. Thro the process, the Arab League met to criticize Israel, but did not organize a joint operation. Moving to Lebanon, Israel launched rockets against Hezbollah from 2023, and escalated into a ground invasion of southern Lebanon in September 2024, destroying Hezbollah’s tunnels and arsenal. Lebanese government troops did not directly fight Israel, Arab countries like Saudi condemned the invasion, but did not provide weapons or support. Hezbollah suffered heavy losses, and Israel pushed to the river Litani.
Israel attacked Houthis mainly in the Red Sea and Yemen, and by the end of 2023, Houthis attacked Israeli ships, and the Israeli navy intercepted and airstrikes Yemen’s ports and missile bases. In 2025, Israel continued to attack Houthis drone launches. Saudi-led anti-Houthis coalition did not coordinate with Israel, but instead focused on its own border security.
Arab countries are worried about Iran's influence, but have not publicly helped Israel or Houthi. In Syria, Israel has frequently carried out air strikes on Iranian-backed militias and weapons transport lines starting in 2023, destroying warehouses near Damascus. The Syria government protested but was unable to fight back. Arab countries such as the United Arab Emirates condemn Israel for violating sovereignty, but at the same time maintain trade with Israel and continue to cooperate.
The direct conflict between Israel and Iran escalated in April 2024, Israel attacked Iran's consulate in Damascus, Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones, and Israel's interception rate was high. In June 2025, Israel massive airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and missile bases, Iran's counterattack but limited effect.
Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have publicly called for restraint and did not provide military aid to Iran. Egypt focuses on its domestic economy and is not involved. Qatar has U.S. bases and does not dare to publicly support Iran. The sectarian differences have made Sunni countries see Iran as a greater threat, secretly share intelligence with Israel, monitor Iran’s missile progress. This cooperation has made Arab countries reluctant to really help Iran, the Israeli military strong, the anti-missile system effective, and avoid large losses.
The Arab countries, on the surface, condemn Israel and actually deepen military ties. In 2025 leaked documents showed that the Arab military met with Israeli officials to discuss counter-terrorism cooperation. Saudi promoted trillion economic projects, and needed European and American investments, and did not want to cause conflict. Egyptian food imports accounted for the financial heads, people's livelihoods were under high pressure, and had no time to handle others.
The UAE's trade with Israel is stable at billions and unaffected. Qatar takes the U.S. attitude into account, the U.S. military base is key. Iran and the Arab countries have historic grievances, Saudi supports the government in the Yemen war, Iran helps the Houthis, has fought for years. Saudi Defense Minister visits Iran in 2025 to talk about surface cooperation, and privately defends each other.
The pattern of the Middle East has shifted from slogans to real interests. Arab countries are no longer blindly anti-Israel, but are more concerned about their own development. People want to live a peaceful life, and the country wants to stabilize the economy. Iran's expansion has alerted Arab countries, and it is in their interests to use Israel to contain them. Israel's military strength is strong, and Arab countries know that it will not take advantage of it. During the crisis from 2023 to 2025, Israel will attack multiple targets, and most Arab countries will be watching. Peace depends on practical actions, not shouting.
