Gulf Cooperation Council Discusses Syria and Alliances

The evolution of Realism in international relations, from Classical Realism to Neo-realism, highlights the importance of alliances formed in response to external threats and military cooperation among states. Recent tensions in the Middle East have shifted focus from Iran to Syria, prompting Gulf nations to reassess their strategies and support Syria's reconstruction while condemning Israeli actions. In parallel, India is strengthening its ties with Gulf countries through a Joint Action Plan aimed at enhancing cooperation in energy, trade, and security, underscoring the significance of these relationships for both parties. The geopolitical dynamics of the Middle East are further complicated by external powers attempting to impose their agendas, which threaten the region's cultural heritage and economic independence. These developments indicate a complex interplay of military, economic, and cultural factors shaping the future of the region. Overall, the Middle East remains a pivotal area of global interest, facing challenges from both internal divisions and external influences.
