The Evolving Role of the Gulf States in the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict

As the Gulf states were not key belligerents in the Arab-Israeli wars, they have received far less research and media attention in the conflict. However, the Gulf states have played a role throughout the history of the dispute and the conflict has had an impact on the Gulf states. Moreover, in recent years Saudi Arabia and Qatar have emerged as active players in mediation efforts. The seminar will examine the evolving historic role of the Gulf states in the conflict.

Suliman Al-Atiqi is a PhD Candidate at St Antony’s College, University of Oxford, and a researcher on the GCC states. He is the Committee Chairman of the Oxford Gulf & Arabian Peninsula Studies Forum and the Managing Editor of its journal, Gulf Affairs.
