"The US will always prioritize Israel over the Arab world. Arab unity is the only way to establish security for all. Despite decades of partnership, Gulf states find their interests expendable whenever they conflict with those of Israel."
"Trade between the US and Gulf countries exceeded $120bn in 2024, underpinned by Gulf investments in the US economy. This interdependence was further underscored at the 2025 Riyadh summit, yielding agreements surpassing $2 trillion."
"Gulf sovereign wealth funds channeled nearly $70bn into US assets in 2025. The Gulf has played a longstanding role in financing the US by recycling its Treasury bonds, helping sustain low borrowing costs and reinforcing the dollar's global dominance."
The US has historically prioritized its relationship with Israel over the interests of Arab nations, particularly the Gulf states. Despite extensive partnerships in security, energy, and finance, the US has sidelined Gulf concerns, especially during conflicts involving Iran. The interdependence between the US and Gulf countries is significant, with trade exceeding $120 billion and substantial investments in the US economy. Gulf nations have also played a crucial role in financing the US, yet their core interests remain overlooked in favor of Israel's priorities.
