With the exception of Kuwait, the Gulf states’ interest in cultivating ties with Israeli and Jewish figures in the United States is an open secret. With the UAE’s recent normalisation of relations with Israel under the Abraham Accord, the commonly held notion that territorial concessions to the Palestinians are a prerequisite for formalising diplomatic relations with Arab states has been called into question. Will other Gulf states follow suit? How will Arab public opinion shape their governments’ reaction? What are the solutions left for the Palestinians? The Middle East Institute will be hosting a panel of speakers in a discussion on these questions. The session will be moderated by MEI Research Fellow Clemens Chay.
