Israel Takes Center Stage as Gulf States Struggle to Exert Influence

According to Dania Thafer, executive director of the Gulf International Forum, a Washington, DC-based organization, the Gulf states’ financial influence may not be sufficient to sway President Trump’s stance. Thafer notes that business and economic concerns hold significant sway over Trump, particularly given the Gulf states’ initial importance in his global strategy. Trump’s visits to the region and investments in Gulf countries demonstrate the extent of his reliance on these nations. However, Thafer suggests that Trump’s actions indicate a willingness to risk these interests in pursuit of his goals. As US allies, the Gulf states are undoubtedly important, but their interests appear to be secondary to those of Israel, which Thafer believes benefited from the recent conflict. The implications for the Gulf states are concerning, and Thafer warns of potential consequences for the region.
