The “Abraham Alliance” billboard, circulated under the auspices of the Coalition for Regional Security, is a symbolic assertion of a reordered Middle East. Displayed in key urban centres and amplified through digital platforms, it presents a stylised image of regional alignment behind U.S. President Donald Trump. With the slogan “It’s Time for a New Middle East,” it encapsulates a political vision in which Israel and a bloc of Arab states coalesce into a stabilising axis, with U.S. patronage and strategic integration at its core. This visual campaign serves as the ideological arm of the Abraham Shield plan, a strategic doctrine articulated by Israeli military and diplomatic elites. It is also a response to the shifting geopolitical terrain following the U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025. This analysis will outline the billboard’s context, decode the strategic architecture behind it, and demonstrate how it ties directly into evolving U.S. regional posture after the June strike. The operation conducted jointly by the United States and Israel targeted key nodes in Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Yet rather than catalysing regional escalation, the aftermath has been characterised by a strategic recalibration. Most notably, President Trump’s decision to permit renewed Chinese purchases of Iranian oil marks not just a sanctions adjustment but an implicit concession to Iran’s resilience. In this context, the Abraham Shield initiative and its accompanying propaganda must be understood as part of a broader contest to define the post-strike regional order. The leaders depicted in the billboard include: Donald Trump, President of the United States Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, President of Egypt Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel Isaac Herzog, President of Israel Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority Ahmed al-Sharaa, President of Syria and former commander of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham Mohammed VI, King of Morocco King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of Bahrain Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, Sultan of Oman Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Emir of Kuwait The image projects a narrative of cohesion and consensus. The inclusion of Abbas signals a nominal recognition of Palestinian representation, while the presence of Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former jihadist now rebranded as Syria’s president, is a deliberate provocation. It signals an aspirational post-Iran, post-Assad regional future, in which Damascus is reintegrated into a pro-Western framework. The strategic framework underpinning the billboard is the Abraham Shield, advanced by the Coalition for Regional Security. Formed roughly one year after the 7 October 2023 attacks, the Coalition includes Israeli public figures, diplomats, reservist officers, analysts, business leaders, and technocrats. Its primary objective is to translate Israel’s wartime mobilisation into a permanent realignment of regional power. The plan consists of six pillars: 1. Gaza transition: Proclaim military success and exchange hostages for withdrawal. Install an interim technocratic authority under regional auspices, deploy Arab police, and implement reconstruction via Gulf and Western financing. Introduce a digital-only “ZeroCash” system to govern economic activity and ensure compliance with de-Hamasification. 2. Lebanon strategy: Enforce a zero-tolerance security buffer along the southern border, empower the Lebanese Army as a stabilising force, and implement an expanded version of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. 3. Syria buffer: Retain Israeli control over the Golan Heights while denying Iranian and Hezbollah access to Syrian territory. Engage Turkey, the U.S., and regional stakeholders to manage security and facilitate regime transition. Continue in comments..
