RT @DavidMakovsky: Though a welcomed opportunity for discourse, it is unclear whether the gathering of the “Quintet” at Sharm al-Sheikh will help calm the situation on the ground ahead of Ramadan or open a route to longer-term progress.

Thirdly, a joint mechanism to counter violence, #incitement must show real results in order to restore trust and stand up to terror, inflammatory statements and action that only benefit extremists and undermine the prospect of #peace and ultimately a two-state solution 8/8

Secondly, action that “significantly enhances the fiscal situation” of the PA can include reducing Allenby handling fees, that are critical for its fiscal sustainability. This will also require Palestinian reform of the prisoner payment systems to address Israeli concerns 7/8

Firstly, to establish a mechanism for improving the #Palestinian economy. Meaningful action must include issues like 24hr opening of Allenby, bonded warehouses, updating long outdated provisions of the economic protocols governing relations between Israel and the PA 6/8

It is to be seen if the positive dynamic from the #SharmElSheikh can produce tangible outcomes and withstand pressures during the upcoming Ramadan, Pesach, and Easter period, or from radicals who may seek to escalate. The test is to implement the steps agreed in the meeting 5/8

The Communique reaffirms the Aqaba commitments to uphold all previous agreements, deescalate, uphold the status quo in #Jerusalem, and unilateral measures for 3-6 months, including new settlement announcements for 4 months, and outposts for 6 months in the occupied #WestBank 4/8

In the absence of the #MiddleEast Quartet, the new format of #Egypt, #Jordan, #Israel, #Palestine and #US may be more effective in helping improve security, strengthen economy and chart a way forward for reviving a political horizon in solving the #Palestinian question. 3/8

For calls for #deescalation to work, they need to be followed by a plan addressing the economic, social and security conditions that allow political resolution. In Aqaba the parties called for deescalation and confidence building, in #SharmElSheikh an outline is emerging 2/8

The #SharmElSheikh Communique is an important step towards #deescalation. #Egypt and #Jordan have played an important and constructive role, together with the #US, in bringing #Israeli and #Palestinian officials together and must be welcomed. My take on the developments. 1/8🧵

@IKRPresident and @mohamedshia both speak passionately of #climatechange's devastating effects on #Iraq. With #COP28UAE coming up in a few months, where regional enviornmental challenges are expected to take centre stage, their message today is vitally important. #SuliForum2023

At #Suliforum2023 PM @mohamedshia speaks openly of #Iraq's problems, and charts a way forward based on unity, diversity & consensus. Recent agreement on 3-year budget framework is a success for his steady leadership. Important recognition of #climatechange challenges too.

Good news to see #Saudi and #Iran normalise diplomatic relations and congratulations to #China for mediating this important agreement. All steps that reduce tension in the #MiddleEast should be encouraged as a way towards a much-needed regional security and cooperation framework.
