Qatar and Turkey Seek to Undermine New Regional Order

Qatar and Turkey are reportedly attempting to disrupt a new regional order envisioned by the United States and Israel, which includes the Abraham Accords. This effort is framed as a response to the perceived threat posed by a potential US-led regional architecture and military actions against Iran.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry has proposed a strategic dialogue with Iran, including Turkey and Pakistan, aiming for a non-aggression pact. This initiative is led by Turkey and Qatar and seeks to prevent the US and Israel from establishing a new regional framework. The stated goal of their meetings is to discuss regional hotspots, but the underlying intention is to form an informal political and diplomatic alliance that counters the US-led bloc.

This alliance aims to present a diplomatic alternative that would constrain US and Israeli actions, particularly regarding Iran, and prevent the formation of a US-Saudi-Israeli axis. The article suggests this move is partly a reaction to Turkey being excluded from the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC).

Furthermore, Turkey is reportedly strengthening military ties with Pakistan and Indonesia, seen as a threat to India and an attempt to undermine the IMEC from the east. The authors warn that if the key players in the new order, the US, Israel, India, Saudi Arabia, and Greece, do not respond decisively and visibly, the new regional order and the IMEC could be jeopardized. The article stresses the urgency of a coordinated national response to these developments.
