“[We] in the Middle East, and especially in the Gulf region, want to see such commitment to our region’s peace and security. The war in Ukraine is highlighting the permanence of the strategic importance of the Gulf region to the whole world in term of energy security and the stability of world economy. Therefore, preserving its peace and stability is an international necessity. This may be a catalyst for the Americans and the Europeans to reconsider their indecision toward conflicts in the region and in standing up for the outstanding threats to the security and stability of the region. This cannot be realized without real and serious commitment to regional security and the security of their important partners with the full respect of their sovereignty and their national choices.”
