It was a pleasure appearing on @AJEnglish today to discuss the Qatari Emir's first visit to Egypt after the blockade. I discussed the political/economic significance of the visit; broader geopolitical trends; economic statecraft of the GCC states; & the upcoming GCC+3 meeting.
Dr. @GhanimAlnajjar: “There are legal remedies to the crises that have embroiled the #Kuwaiti political system. However, none of these legal measures substitute for a political resolution to the underlying schism between the Parliament and government.”

New @HamdullahBaycar:"#SaudiArabia’s mixed signals over the normalization suggest that MBS has not fully forgotten the role #Turkey played in the aftermath of #Khashoggi’s assassination when Turkish officials suggested that he had masterminded the murder."

New @AZ_Kilani: "Until the crisis ends, and as long as ties between #Washington and #Moscow remain tense, the #GCC states are likely to remain under pressure to choose between the two great rivals."

Dr. @jimkrane: "Normally #OPEC releases some spare capacity, more than they're doing now, or #Saudi oil minister or OPEC SG would reassure releasing spare capacity. We're not seeing any of that, so Biden had to turn to emergency measures."

New @z_alkinani: "The tripartite partnership among #Egypt, #Jordan, and #Iraq does not equal competition with other #Arab states, but it reflects the three countries’ keenness to discover their ability to build new alliances."

@GiorgioCafiero: “Ultimately, the odds are good that the #Gulf Arab states and #NewDelhi will find a way to limit the damage caused by the controversy, mindful of the importance of #India’s relationship with the region.”

New @GiorgioCafiero: "In the grander geopolitical context, it is notable how the #Gulf Arab states (as opposed to Western powers) have successfully pressured #India’s #BJP into censuring two of its officials in the wake of their offensive remarks."

Dr. @diana_galeeva: "Focusing mainly on IR theory, and in order to locate #Qatar’s place within it, it should be noted that Qatar has an enormous wealth advantage that realist, neorealist, and neoclassical schools view as an indicator of power."
