Israel’s popularity in the United Arab Emirates puts Saudi Arabia in the spotlight more than any other Gulf state.
The agreement for the status quo of diplomatic relations between the United Arab Emirates and Israel is just the most recent occasion that puts nails in the coffin of perception of solidarity in the Arab and Islamic world.
It has long been assumed that these nations share non-unusual geopolitical interests on the basis of ethnicity or faith and embrace kinship solidarity.
Beyond the agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, there are more vacancies of Arab and Muslim solidarity.
Only the Saudi-Pakistani spit in Kashmir, as well as various disputes between the Gulf States and between Turkey, the kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.
One of the main motivations for the agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel is that either country is concerned that an election victory imaginable for alleged Democratic candidate Joe Biden on November 3 can identify an administration willing to seek a compromise with Iran.
The status quo of diplomatic relations strengthens the position of the United Arab Emirates as one of America’s top partners in the Middle East.
And it allows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to argue that his difficult policy toward the Palestinians does not save him a broader peace between the Jewish state and Arab nations.
The willingness of the United Arab Emirates to officially recognize Israel underscores an undeniable truth that the concept of Arab and Muslim solidarity exists in theory and rhetoric.
In reality, it is constantly surpassed by the unwavering interests pursued across countries and their leaders.
So it’s unexpected that, while MM. Trump and Netanyahu and U. S. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed were giving full touches to their coordinated statements, with classic allies from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan locked in a developing dispute over Kashmir.
The dispute follows India’s in 2019 to revoke the autonomy of the Muslim-majority state of Jammu and Kashmir and impose brutal repression.
Muslim countries, led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, have been reluctant to jeopardize their developing economic and military ties with India and Pakistan to dry up.
The two Gulf states, instead of maintaining their classic for Pakistan, celebrated Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as progress developed in Kashmir.
In response, Pakistan hit Saudi Arabia that it hurts.
In a rare public complaint from the kingdom, Pakistan’s foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi warned that Pakistan would convene an Islamic convention outside the borders of the Saudi-controlled Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) after the organization rejected Islamabad’s request to hold an assembly in the Kashmir.
In targeting Saudi Arabia’s leadership and seeking comfortable Muslim power, Qureshi presented his risk eight months after Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, under Saudi pressure, withdrew from an Islamic summit in Kuala Lumpur convened by critics of the kingdom, adding that Qatar and Turkey. And Iran.
Saudi Arabia’s apparent concern is that any challenge to its leadership can simply fuel the demands that Saudi Arabia give custody of Mecca and Medina to a pan-Israel body.
After all, it was Saudi Arabia’s custody and symbol as ruler of the Muslim world that persuaded the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates to deal with Israel in the first place.
The leader of the United Arab Emirates is also obviously willing to use his embrace of discussion with Jewish and Christian teams for his tarnished symbol in Washington and other Western capitals.
Israel’s popularity in the United Arab Emirates places Saudi Arabia more than any other Gulf state at the top when it comes to relations with Israel, and that puts Prince Mohammed bin Zayed of the United Arab Emirates in charge.
All of this is a matter of national interests and festivals, and has very little to do with Arab or Muslim solidarity.
