The most important objective of the plan was to create two independent countries, with Iran being the most significant opponent. As Iran seriously opposed it, the UAE became more hostile toward Iran.
However, it was significant that the UAE was able to gain support from China and Russia for its claims just after April 14, 2024 – when Iran launched missiles and drones in its first direct attack on Israel – but this was the first time it received support from the EU.
It seems that because the EU was disappointed with the cessation of military conflict against Israel by Iran, it decided to design a new scenario. Since the world witnessed huge support for the Palestinian people in the streets of Europe, creating a new psychological conflict for Iran by raising illusory questions in the minds of the masses became the focus of the mission. The goal was clear: they tried to send the message to the world that despite confronting the occupying regime of Israel in Palestine, Iran itself is an occupying country and behaves with hypocrisy and double standards in international relations.
The scenario has another key element that is Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli prime minister has changed his strategy from gaining the support of nations to gaining the support of governments. It seems that Netanyahu’s attempts for a direct military conflict with Iran require the withdrawal of the Europeans from the scene where the level of support for Israel has greatly decreased and has even led to criticism of its performance in the one-year war in the Gaza Strip.
In order to prove that they are still with Israel and not with Netanyahu, the Europeans have opened a new front against Israel’s archenemy, Iran. This plan has supporters even within the Biden administration. For further explanation, here is Michael Doran’s opinion from the Hudson Institute panel.
“It’s really quite striking what we haven’t seen from the administration, which is a global attempt to hold Iran accountable in any way for this multi-theater war that it has orchestrated, or to isolate Iran in any way. But there is an effort by the administration going on to isolate the Israeli right, which we see in a number of different ways, including the sanctions that they’re putting on the Israeli right, but also just the public messaging. They’re doing with this policy, they would say, ‘We are preserving the two-state solution. The war is endangering the possibility of a two-state solution.’”
In summation, Iran leads the axis of resistance in the region against a two-state solution to the Palestinian issue. Consequently, the dangerous situation in the region created a good opportunity for the UAE to raise its territorial grievances with Iran to higher levels and to attract more support from international powers.
However, while the EU positions itself as a key actor in the Middle East’s geopolitical landscape, it is looking for a loophole to prevent further support for Israel due to the condemnation of the masses in its own nation. While Netanyahu is trying to expand the military conflict in the region, on the other hand, the EU is creating of a new political front with Iran as a solution to control the support demands made by Netanyahu.
