Israel’s recent attack on Qatar, a country long regarded as the United States’ closest ally in the Arab world, marks a turning point in Middle Eastern security dynamics. The strike on Qatar reinforces this message, showing Israel’s readiness to expand the geography of conflicts to the heart of the Arab world. Israel’s attack on Qatar carried a symbolic message: Arabs must come to terms with the gradual erasure of Palestine from the political map. Israel’s attack on Qatar unveiled another truth: Arabs are neither effective mediators in international diplomacy nor decisive weights in security equations. Israel’s attack on Qatar could serve as a trigger to take these ideas seriously.
