- The American mediation between Qatar on one hand and the countries of boycotting led by Saudi Arabia on the other hand is like the Saudi mediations between the Prime Minister Saad Al-Hariri and the Lebanese Forces. Both of which involved the mediation of the sponsor between two allies and both of them required mediation stemmed from considering the dispute between the two allies weakness in confronting the enemy’s front.
- Washington’s words about Qatar are similar to the words of the Saudi envoy to Meraab regarding praise and reassurance, but as Saudi Arabia’s issue is to convince A-Hariri or to adopt his opinion, as Washington’s issue is to convince Saudi Arabia or to adopt its opinion.
- The difference is that the unification of the Gulf Cooperation Council against Iran improves the conditions of confrontation with it by alienating Qatar from its cooperation relation, while the unity of the Lebanese Forces and Al Mustaqbal weakens it especially in the elections.
- The most important difference is that Al-Hariri can assure Saudi Arabia’s approval if Washington supported his position and considerations and had told Saudi Arabia about its position, while if America asked Saudi Arabia to end the dispute with Qatar, then who will grant Saudi Arabia the margin to debate?
- Saudi Arabia has only Israel to affect the position of Washington, but if Tel Aviv is the one that decided to unify the Gulf Cooperation Council and to resolve the dispute, then Saudi Arabia will receive a slap and will respond.
