Saudi Arabia Eyes Syria Route for IMEC, Bypassing Israel

Saudi Arabia is reassessing the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC) route, exploring an alternative path through Syria rather than Israel following the Gaza war and stalled Saudi-Israeli normalization talks. This shift signals a deepening isolation of Israel among its regional neighbours, a pattern Scripture associates with the last days when surrounding nations turn against the Jewish state. The Bible warns of a time when Israel stands alone among the nations, consistent with prophecies in Zechariah 12:2-3, which describes Jerusalem becoming a burden to all surrounding peoples.
