From Oslo To #Trump’s #AbrahamAccords And 20-Point Peace Plan For #Gaza
The evolution of Mideast peace efforts culminates in a new 20-point plan for Gaza. Will prioritizing security over statehood only guarantee the next crisis? #GazaCeasefire #gazawar

While many #Arab nations have privately loathed #Hamas for the Oct 7, 2023, attack, the Trump plan to take over #Gaza, has forced them to back up their sentiments with action. It represents the full culmination of the Outside-In approach. #Cairo https://t.co/IdJSVFPCop

Pleasantly surprised to see my book, “The Return of the Taliban: Afghanistan After the Americans Left” offered by Amazon in the US on a highly discounted rate ($8) for a limited time.

Brilliant thread by my friend @murtazahsyed on IMF and #Pakistan's economy. The core point is that Pakistan's traditional economic model has reached its expiry date - and a new cannot be born without a re-set of the country's rentier political economy

“Part of India’s strategy for the region has been trying to maintain a separate and important relationship with Russia, and to keep a wedge driven between Russia and China so that India could continue to count on Russia as a partner.” - @MarkeyDaniel #MEIEvents

[Middle East Institute @MiddleEastInst]

“The Gulf states have a relationship with Russia, but it’s more economic…These are two parallel relationships that are not connected with each other. The relationship with China is different from how we approach and how we talk with Russia.” - @KhaledAlmaeena #MEIEvents

@MarkeyDaniel #China has not come in support of Imran Khan to calm the political situation in #Pakistan @MiddleEastInst

[Middle East Institute @MiddleEastInst]

“Both the Saudis and the Iranians like the idea of a guarantor, and both of them see China as a very useful one because of Chinese oil purchases and because China is so essential to both of their economies.” - @MarkeyDaniel #MEIEvents

[Middle East Institute @MiddleEastInst]

“China’s interest in the Middle East is quite different from China’s interest in South Asia. To begin with, South Asia is not a primary supplier of energy resources, natural resources, or economic opportunity for China.” - Yun Sun #MEIEvents

[Middle East Institute @MiddleEastInst]

“[Pakistan] has been saying for the last several years that it wants to convert its strategic location…This is where Pakistan has been able to turn a geo-strategic relationship [with China] into a geo-economic one.” - Syed Mohammad Ali #MEIEvents

Washington’s expectations of India are misplaced. India’s significant weaknesses compared with China, and its inescapable proximity to it, guarantee that New Delhi will never involve itself in any U.S. confrontation with Beijing https://t.co/JJcT4s2Vi2

As #Iran-#Saudi detente makes-progress- the increase in #Israeli strikes in #Syria appears to indicate that Israel’s “war between the wars” campaign, which is designed to prevent Iranian entrenchment and threats, may be reaching a new phase

After #Saudi détente with #Iran and #Syria, #Qatar and #Bahrain both say they want to ‘enhance the Gulf unity and integration’ after years of discord.

The two countries announced restoration of consulate services and flights as Syria eases ties with Arab neighbors following a rift which lasted nearly 12 years. Saudi Arabia is preparing to host the Arab League summit.
