Kremlin refrains from commenting on Netanyahu’s proposal for security pact in Mideast

ISTANBUL (AA) - The Kremlin on Thursday refrained from commenting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposal to create a security pact in the Middle East, which he dubbed as the "Abraham Alliance."
“It is necessary to understand the details of Mr. Netanyahu’s reasoning before concluding anything,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in a press briefing in response to a question on the Israeli premier’s initiative.
During an address before a joint session of the US Congress on Wednesday, Netanyahu said such an alliance would be a "natural extension" of normalization agreements known as the "Abraham Accords" that Israel brokered with Arab states during the Trump administration.
Re-emphasizing the need to understand the details of the proposal, Peskov further said NATO “has a pronounced and systemic confrontational orientation.”
“Do we need confrontational mechanisms in the Middle East? Hardly,” he added.
