Shifting Partnerships and the Road to Peace in the Middle East

by Rana Allam
Since the wave of revolt shook the Middle East beginning in 2011, alliances have been shifting with the change of leaderships. Most of those who once shaped the region and balanced the powers are no longer in charge. With wars, conflicts, and leadership changes, stability and synergy seem unlikely in the near future. The biggest powers in the Middle East, namely Saudi, Egypt, Iran, and the GCC, don’t agree about such issues as Syria, Yemen, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Iran. Adding to the mix are the possible changes in US policy with the Trump presidency. http://lobelog.com/shifting-partnerships-and-the-road-to-peace-in-the-middle-east/
