| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Arab attitude towards the Russian special military operation
in Ukraine is considered a departure from the trends that usually govern
Arab politics, which have generally been supportive of the United
States. This is due to the fact that a number of Arab countries are
historically U.S. strategic allies. It is also one of the unique situations
that have witnessed an Arab consensus, without pre-coordination in this
regard among Arab countries. Disagreements have always plagued
efforts to formulate unified Arab policies. In the case of the Russian
operation, every Arab country has taken its attitude in accordance with
its national interests, and so it all has led to a common Arab position
that is underscored by an understanding of Russian motives. |
