A Ushering into the new year (2021), the Arab world is relatively better off than it had been a year before, or we are perhaps close to reaching the light at the end of the tunnel. The news about vaccines, the political developments, talk about a reconciliation and a Gulf Summit, breakthroughs in Libya, the formation of a new Yemeni government, improved oil prices, economic recoveries, and all other news give us a sense of cautious optimism. The past year primarily shaped by the coronavirus was grim, dark and unprecedented worldwide, and our Arab world is part of that world. With that, chaos, wars, crises, conflicts and disputes tied to regional and international players were not absent from the scene. The Middle East and the world’s problems are intertwined, whereby it is no longer possible to separate them or deal with them distinctly.
