Key Notes
Jiang suggests Mossad has infiltrated regional adversaries so deeply that states such as Turkey, Egypt, and the Gulf monarchies have not meaningfully awakened to what he calls the threat of Israel.
Jiang says Gulf monarchies are not genuinely free actors against Israel because they are trapped between dependence on the United States and vulnerability to Iranian economic and missile retaliation.
Jiang predicts Iran will not attack Gulf states because doing so would cost it popular and global opinion.
He argues Gulf-state and Turkish regimes are vulnerable because actions against Al-Aqsa would provoke millions of Muslims and sharply limit elite maneuverability.
