This piece by @Rabs_AA ,brilliantly lays bare Pakistan's future strategic challenges and the option(s) that the country should exercise ,in the wake of the Israel-Gulf rapprochement. strafasia.com/israeli-gulf-r…
The author argues that Pakistan must not lose sight of the impending threat of encirclement, that could emanate from Israel's forays around and proximity to Pakistan. New Delhi and Tel Aviv could ramp up trouble for Islamabad in the Arabian Gulf, argues the author.
But why Pakistan could be the target? The author says that it is because Islamabad continues to survive, rather than wilt, posing a great deal of discomfiture to those that want to impede the country's rise up the power ladder.
What does physical proximity of Israel mean for Pakistan? It increases Israel's ability to leverage its sophisticated tools of warfare to both keep an eye on and engage Pakistan ,while harming the latter's retaliatory prowess.
The solution proposed by the author : militarize the Gwadar port, by establishing a joint naval base with China.Given the stakes of and common threats faced by the two countries,this proposition is viable and worthy of consideration.Think out of the box, folks. Top-read, @Rabs_AA
