Over the past week, Jerusalem and occupied Palestine have once again seen popular collective action, an almost spontaneous reaction to the repeated injustices and oppression amid the evictions in Sheikh Jarrah. Yet, within the midst of all the violence and chaos, a rather subtle, yet devious, narrative arises from Israel and its ally, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
This week, Iran officially confirmed that it was in talks with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia, the Sunni seat of power, and Iran, the Shia seat of power, cut all ties with each other in 2016 after Shia protesters had attacked Saudi missions following the execution of a Shia cleric by Riyadh.
In April, reports surfaced that Saudi and Iranian officials had met in Baghdad, Iraq, to begin laying the groundwork for potential expansion of talks. On 12
th May, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Jawad Zarif, said: “We [Iran] are ready for close ties with Saudi Arabia”. In the meantime, as Riyadh plans to open this door, Saudi is also mitigating its other crisis points to hedge its diplomatic and military bets, some of which have arguably misfired over the past couple of years.
