Doha: Gulf States are increasingly questioning the effectiveness of their military cooperation with the United States, particularly the reliability of US-supplied defense systems. This concern has arisen following recent events where these systems failed to respond effectively to an attack by Israel.

According to France24.com, Dr. Ziad Majed, a professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the American University of Paris, highlighted these concerns during an interview. The Gulf States' apprehensions were intensified after emergency talks held in Doha on Monday. These discussions were convened by Arab and Muslim leaders following a deadly strike on Hamas members in Doha, which took place last week.

The talks resulted in calls for a reassessment of diplomatic and military ties with Israel, reflecting the growing unease about the current defense arrangements and their implications for regional security.
