Israel & The Gulf Monarchies

A Behind The Scenes Look at the Changing Middle East and the Strategic Alliance Between Israel & Arab Gulf States.

Both the "Abraham Accords" – the peace agreement between Israel and the UAE, and the Declaration of Intention signed by Israel & Bahrain reflect the current geostrategic reconfiguration of the Middle East. An environment which is a result of significant changes that have taken place in the region over the past decade. In this briefing, I will explore how we got here, how the agreements represrnt the new geostrategic construct of the region, and what the future holds.
