AbstractBy drawing on the literature about security regimes, this article posits the idea of that a particular type of regime, what can be termed a "tacit security regime" has begun to emerge between Israel on the one hand, and several Gulf Arab states on the other. It is a regime which, unlike liberal institutional variants that attempt to privilege the promotion of collective norms, remains configured around perceptions of threats to be countered and strategic interests to be realized. By examining the development, scope and scale of this nascent tacit security regime, this article explores the extent to which Israel, mindful of Washington, DC's regional retrenchment, sees the emergence of such a regime as redefining the political and strategic contours of Israel's relations with much of the Middle East.
