The Israel-UAE land corridor is connected to maritime traffic through the Persian Gulf Israel uses this route from the UAE through Saudi Arabia and Jordan to Israel as a way to bypass the Red Sea blockade of its trade with Asia. If Iran systematically cuts off Israeli-bound shipments through Emirati ports, Israel would effectively be cut off from any trade with Asia and would have to import everything through the Mediterranean ports of Haifa and Ashdod. If Iran or Hezbollah decided to strike these two ports, Israel would be completely cut off from the global trade network. This would have major implications for its economy, which is heavily dependent on foreign trade.
