Summarization
An @GulfStatesInst panel moderated by Ambassador William Roebuck, with introduction from @RayKaram, debated Iran's protests and Tehran's regional role. Riyadh's approach to humanitarian assistance reflected organizational changes. My latest for @GulfStatesInst analyzed analysts' views on Raisi's visit to Beijing. GCC state monarchs are interested in trade and benefits from Israel normalization, according to @GiorgioCafiero. A video featuring @SanamVakil and @rasahaniiis Mohamed Al Sulami is available for viewing. A report by @GulfStatesInst on UAE Security Forum 2022 is a must-read for those interested in US-GCC relations. Iranian commentary at a Georgetown University opposition panel was covered with importance by the regime's mouthpieces. An analysis on the Iraqi foreign minister's visit to Washington and a discussion on Yemen's "mysterious" identity through a hashtag were both covered. Amb. Roebuck replaced the original lineup in the discussion on Iran's regional relationships due to recovery from a nasty accident.
