For decades, wealthy Gulf Arab states prided themselves on being oases of stability in a turbulent Middle East. But that sense of security was shattered this year. First, Iran struck an American airbase in Qatar after the U.S. targeted its nuclear facilities. Then, just this week, Israel launched a direct attack on Hamas’ political leadership in Doha.
The strikes have rattled Gulf capitals, as the Gaza war creeps dangerously closer to home. Qatar has vowed a “collective response,” with Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani confirming that consultations are underway. A final decision is expected at an Arab-Islamic summit in Doha this weekend.
The UAE moved quickly, with President Mohammed bin Zayed visiting Doha less than 24 hours after the attack, condemning Israel’s actions as “blatant and cowardly.” Analysts say Gulf states are weighing responses that could include downgrading ties with Israel, pursuing international legal action, or even activating the long-dormant “Peninsula Shield Force” defense pact.
Still, options are limited. Most Gulf nations rely heavily on U.S. military hardware and security guarantees — even as Washington remains Israel’s closest ally. Economically, Gulf states could leverage their vast sovereign wealth funds to pressure Israel, or redirect trillions in investments away from the U.S. if they feel unprotected.
Regional experts warn that if Gulf states do not act decisively now, other capitals could be next.
