A Front for “Israel”?

DP World constitutes an ideal front for “Israel” because it possesses a global network of relationships that “Israel” itself cannot easily acquire due to many states’ diplomatic sensitivity toward the entity.

Moreover, the UAE’s position as a neutral financial–logistical hub facilitates the penetration of Israeli influence without raising suspicion in the states targeted by Tel Aviv for intelligence expansion. In addition, cooperation between “Israel” and DP World facilitates Israeli intelligence activities through artificial intelligence across a large number of states, while also benefiting from the UAE’s involvement in regional conflicts such as Yemen and the Horn of Africa in ways that serve Israeli strategic interests.

It is also noteworthy that there is strategic alignment between the objectives of “Israel” and those of the UAE. Abu Dhabi seeks to establish a ports empire, particularly in the western basin of the Indian Ocean, while “Israel” aims to control supply chains from Asia to the Mediterranean.

It can therefore be said that, following normalization, DP World has become a regional–international platform for indirect Israeli influence over ports of high geopolitical sensitivity.

This influence is not exercised through the raising of the “Israeli” flag or the direct presence of Israeli companies, but through port acquisitions, supply-chain management, the deployment of Israeli security technologies, and the exchange of maritime data. Taken together, these elements have granted “Israel,” for the first time in its history, a maritime geopolitical expansion stretching from the Strait of Hormuz in the east to East Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean in the west.
