The Impact of the Israel-Hamas War on US-Middle East Relations

Arab states with peace and normalization treaties with Israel, such as Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, are facing pressure from their pro-Palestinian populations to address the situation in Gaza. While Jordan recalled its ambassador and there were rumors of Bahrain severing ties with Israel, these actions do not indicate a broad repudiation of bilateral relations. The commercial ties between Bahrain and Israel remain stable, and the UAE has resisted pressure to expel the Israeli ambassador and downgrade ties.

The Lasting Impact of the October War: A Divided Israel's Fight for Survival

The October War, also known as the Yom Kippur War, had a profound impact on the world. The surprise attack by Egypt and Syria on Israel in 1973 changed the dynamics of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Cold War. The war demonstrated the power of a united Arab front and led to an oil embargo that affected global oil prices. It also prompted US diplomat Henry Kissinger to engage in shuttle diplomacy, ultimately leading to a ceasefire and a shift towards diplomacy. The war resulted in Egypt normalizing relations with Israel, breaking the unity of the Arab world. Despite limited success in Arab-Israeli peace since then, the Israeli-Egypt peace treaty remains intact.
