The Last Army Standing:
The U.S.-Israeli Plan to Disarm the Middle East
For decades, the strategic vision of the American-Israeli alliance has remained consistent: neutralize any military force in the region that could pose a threat to Israel’s dominance.
This plan has systematically dismantled nearly every national army in the Arab world, turning once-powerful militaries into fragmented internal security forces. Only one major force remains largely intact, but for how long?
Zero Threat Policy: Redrawing the Military Map
At the heart of this strategy is one unwavering doctrine: Israel must not face any credible military threat from its neighbors, especially those that share borders with occupied Palestine or support the Palestinian cause.
This principle has guided U.S.-Israeli interventions, wars, and political pressures across the region.
It is not peace they pursue but permanent military supremacy.
Iraq: Dismantling a Powerhouse
When the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, regime change wasn’t the only goal.
One of the central objectives was to dismantle the Iraqi army, one of the largest in the region.
Not only was it dissolved, but the military structure was never allowed to rebuild. Instead, militias and sectarian security forces filled the void, ensuring Iraq remained divided, weak, and incapable of projecting power beyond its borders.
Syria: Bombing the Future
After the Syrian regime fell, Israel seized the opportunity to eliminate any chance of Syria rebuilding a functioning national army.
While foreign-backed factions and extremist groups were celebrating the fall of the regime, Israel launched relentless airstrikes on weapons factories, missile depots, and military research centers, crippling what was left of the country’s military infrastructure.
Israeli officials made no secret of their intentions: “We will not allow the Syrian army to rebuild itself.” The message was clear, Syria was not to rise again as a military power.
In the new power structures that emerged, such as the HTS-led administration in Syria, there is no army. Their forces are named “General Security,” tasked with igniting internal disputes rather than defending borders. The very concept of a national army has been erased, replaced with fragmented militias and security forces designed only for internal control.
Lebanon: An Army Without Arms
Lebanon’s army has long been restricted by international politics.
When offers from Russia and Iran to arm the Lebanese military emerged, the U.S. which holds massive sway over Lebanon’s political elite blocked every deal.
American envoys stated plainly: “We want to help the Lebanese army maintain internal stability not to pose a threat to Israel.”
The Lebanese army, lacking in modern capabilities, is thus limited to crowd control and border patrol while the country remains vulnerable to Israeli aggression.
Egypt: The Last Obstacle
Of all Israel’s neighbors, only Egypt retains a large, organized, and battle-hardened army.
Despite the Camp David peace agreement, the Egyptian public still views Israel with suspicion, and the army remains a source of national pride and power.
But this strength is exactly why Israel sees it as a problem.
In the coming months and years, Israel either directly or through its allies is likely to intensify efforts to weaken Egypt militarily. Not just to neutralize a potential threat, but to ensure that no Arab army remains strong enough to challenge the regional order envisioned in the Greater Israel project.
Policing the New Middle East
From Iraq to Syria to Lebanon, national armies have been transformed into domestic security forces or completely dismantled.
This was no accident, but a coordinated campaign designed to eliminate the last pillars of Arab military power.
The goal is not peace, but permanent submission, a Middle East where the only legitimate arms are those that serve Israel.
