"Last week, after Israel's strike against Hamas leaders in Doha a colossal violation of the sovereignty of a country that is not only a close ally of the US, but an anchor of Gaza peace talks Gulf leaders sprang to show solidarity. The president of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, arrived on an unscheduled visit to Doha and embraced the Qatari emir."
"The leaders of India, China and Russia met in Tianjin, producing an image of smiling warmth that is likely to be an artefact of this era. The summit was convened in the wake of Donald Trump's alienation of another ally, Narendra Modi. After Trump's second election, Modi was one of the first leaders to visit Washington DC, where he was called a great friend, and the two countries set the target of doubling their trade to half a trillion dollars by 2030."
Political leaders are convening urgent summits after Israel struck Hamas leaders in Doha, an act portrayed as a colossal violation of Qatari sovereignty. Gulf states showed rapid solidarity: the president of the United Arab Emirates made an unscheduled visit to Doha and embraced the Qatari emir, while Saudi Arabia called for Arab, Islamic and international responses to confront the aggression. Arab and Muslim heads of state organized an emergency summit in Doha. Separately, leaders of India, China and Russia met in Tianjin, projecting warmth amid shifting alignments after U.S. policies. U.S. tariffs and public criticisms of India contributed to diplomatic friction and realignment.
