Doha: Gulf States are expressing growing concerns about the effectiveness of their military cooperation with the United States. Dr Ziad Majed, a professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the American University of Paris, highlighted these apprehensions during a discussion on FRANCE 24. The concerns stem from the failure of US-provided defense systems to respond effectively during recent attacks on Israel.
According to France24.com, Arab and Muslim leaders are urging a reassessment of their relationships with Israel. This call for review was made after emergency discussions in Doha, prompted by a deadly strike on Hamas members in the Qatari capital last week. The talks reflected a broader regional unease about current defense alliances and their implications.
