Doha: Dr. Hellyer has issued a warning that the Gulf region no longer views the United States as a reliable security partner. This statement comes amidst a period of heightened tensions in the Middle East.

According to France24.com, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to supporting Israel in its operations in Gaza, emphasizing the goal of dismantling Hamas. Concurrently, leaders from Arab and Muslim nations are assembling in Doha for an emergency summit. This gathering follows Israel’s significant strike on Hamas in Qatar.

Carys Garland, seeking further insights, engaged with Dr. H A Hellyer, a Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and International Security Studies in London. Hellyer’s observations highlight a shift in the perception of the US’s role as a security ally in the region.
