Gergash's emphasis on revitalizing the joint defense measures of the Persian Gulf states According to The Times of Israel, Anwar Gergash, adviser to the President of the United Arab Emirates, emphasized the urgent need to revive the joint actions of the Persian Gulf states, especially in the fields of security and defense. In a post he published on Channel X in this context, he added that the neglect of the collective security of the Persian Gulf countries made others more daring to extravagance and border-breaking actions against the countries of the region. The adviser to the government of the United Arab Emirates stated that focusing on Saudi Arabia weakens the security of all the countries of the Persian Gulf. Gergash stressed that the security of the Persian Gulf is a joint responsibility that should not be neglected. The increase in attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis in recent days, especially the deadly attacks at Riyadh International Airport last weekend, has exacerbated fears of the spread of regional conflicts.
