The Diplomatic Insight Weekly: 7th-13th Nov
|
Hello Reader The Abraham Accords have tilted toward Central Asia until Trump figures out a way through the complex Gulf & Middle Eastern region. Every attempt at brokering normalization between Israel and the region's Muslim-majority countries circles back to the textbook history lessons - the two-state solution, the disputed Golan Heights, the maps and lines which were arbitrarily drawn. Syrian President's White House appearance was no final word on the fate of the disputed land between itself & Israel. The Saudi Crown Prince, coming to Washington in a few days, brings along the same stance on Palestinian statehood. Can Trump bring a different recipe to the table; one that does not involve decades-long wars? We will have to wait & see. Here’s your weekly roundup of the week’s most important stories, news, and articles from The Diplomatic Insight. Want to be featured in our Op-ed section? Send your insights, opinions, and articles!
