SHARE There will be a lot on the plate for the leaders of the Gulf Co-operation Council when they meet in Al Ula, Saudi Arabia, for the 41st GCC Summit on Tuesday. Relations with Iran, Turkey and Israel, relations between GCC member states, the future of Palestine and Gulf-Arab unity will be some of the talking points likely to dominate the summit. An important topic of discussion will be Gulf-Arab unity, which has on several occasions experienced headwinds, whether it was over relations with Iran amid its regime’s bid to expand its military footprint in Arab countries, or relations with Turkey amid its own expansionist project – in tandem with the Muslim Brotherhood – in the Arab world.
