In an interview with ANI, Sachs highlighted the structural vulnerability of these cities, describing them as global tourism and financial hubs rather than militarily fortified zones. He warned that their very appeal—luxury, openness, and economic prominence—could become a liability in the event of war.
According to Sachs, the UAE’s strategic alignment with the United States and Israel may prove to be a critical miscalculation. He criticized the country’s participation in the Abraham Accords, arguing that such agreements have increased regional risks instead of ensuring stability. He suggested that Gulf nations have placed excessive trust in American security guarantees, leading to overconfidence in their geopolitical decisions.
