وحدة السياسة الخارجية الخليجية.. مفتاح الاستقرار في الشرق الأوسط

In light of the rapid changes in the Middle East, the unity of the foreign policy of Gulf States has become an urgent necessity, not only to protect their national interests but also to actively contribute to the stability of the region and its reconstruction after years of conflicts.

The first step is to enhance regional cooperation by building flexible alliances with neighboring countries based on developmental projects and shared interests. The current regional landscape also requires rebuilding trust with other countries through calm and direct political dialogue.

Cross-border Gulf investments contribute to supporting the economies of the region's countries and creating job opportunities, which helps reduce poverty and extremism. The Gulf-Middle Eastern economic integration can serve as a platform for trade agreements and the development of regional infrastructure.

On the security front, the shift towards collective security initiatives has become a necessary demand in light of increasing threats, from sectarian conflicts to the rise of militias. The role of Gulf States here should go beyond self-defense to include contributing to the establishment of regional frameworks for combating terrorism and enhancing stability.

Politically, the Gulf reality requires a balanced and independent foreign policy that reduces dependence on major powers like the United States or China and opens the door to multiple partnerships. Additionally, the Gulf States' role as mediators in conflicts such as Yemen and Syria enhances their image as a force for peace and a regional balancing factor.

The importance of soft power as an effective political tool cannot be overlooked. Supporting education and cultural projects, along with directing humanitarian aid to affected countries, enhances the status of Gulf States in regional and global awareness.

Finally, adapting to global transformations such as the transition to renewable energy and investing in artificial intelligence will provide the Gulf with new tools to build future partnerships and transform its economy into a source of long-term influence.

The unity of the Gulf stance, when accompanied by a comprehensive strategic vision, will make the Gulf States a pivotal player that cannot be overlooked in reshaping the Middle East into a more stable and cooperative region.
