On September 23, AGSIW will host a discussion with Adel Abdel Ghafar, Hanaa Almoaibed, Silvia Colombo, and Omar Al-Ubaydli examining prospects and challenges for increased cooperation between the EU and Gulf countries. Emma Soubrier will moderate the discussion.
Gulf actors will be paying close attention to the dispute to make sure it does not transition to more direct conflict that could further jeopardize regional stability and strategic Europe-Mediterranean-Africa market linkages.
With the peace process stalled, Hans Grundberg will need to revise the framework for ending the conflict in Yemen, but his main challenge lies in bringing the local actors to the political discussion.
Despite gains in bilateral relations and economic ties, one year after the signing of the Abraham Accords, there is an understanding in Israel that the agreements have not yet changed the “rules of the game” on a strategic level in the region.
The TotalEnergies deal with Iraq includes clean energy aspects that are a step in the right direction for the country to develop a more sustainable economy, but the focus is still on oil and gas.

Lebanon depends on its financial industry. Now the new government has to figure out how to recapitalize its institutions or the country may cease to exist.
سيعير الفاعلون الخليجيون مزيدًا من الاهتمام لهذا النزاع، لضمان عدم تحوله إلى صراع مباشر من شأنه أن يعرض الاستقرار الإقليمي والروابط التجارية الإستراتيجية بين أوروبا وحوض المتوسط وأفريقيا لمزيد من الأخطار
