'All eyes on Middle East at pivotal time after Hull’s Saudi win'
Monday, 4 November 2024 After Charley Hull's sensational win in Saudi Arabia last week, golf fans should maintain their attention on events both off and on the course in the Middle East, writes Iain Carter.
Europe’s powerful ‘E3’—Germany, France, and the UK—are signaling a major diplomatic rift with the U.S. and Israel over the Gaza crisis. After criticizing Israel’s blockade of aid and civilian deaths, France has recognized Palestine, while the UK has pledged recognition without a timeline. Germany’s Chancellor Merz hinted at a coordinated Middle East policy, fueling speculation of a NATO split. As public protests grow across Europe, E3 leaders are pressured to take a tougher stance on Gaza, potentially exposing U.S.–Israel hypocrisy on the conflict.

Macron’s declaration comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Is France entering the Middle East war? What does this mean for NATO, Israel, and the broader West? From failed Western coordination to rising pressure inside France, this is the story behind Macron’s explosive pivot — and the global consequences it could unleash.

Treasury minister James Murray has said the only way to achieve lasting peace in the Middle East is through a two-state solution. Speaking about the crisis in Gaza, he described the situation as “utterly horrifying” and said the UK is pushing for a ceasefire, aid access and hostage releases. He stressed the Prime Minister is in talks with international leaders to help get “on that pathway to a two-state solution.” Report by Covellm.

Cambodia has closed its airspace over regions bordering Thailand following intense military clashes, citing a major threat to commercial aviation from heavy weapons. The country’s State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) has instructed airlines to reroute flights away from the danger zone, especially between Siem Reap and Pailin, where Thai military operations have intensified. While international flights are not canceled, rerouted paths now avoid potentially volatile skies. SSCA spokesperson Sin Jansriwuttha highlighted risks posed by Thailand’s military escalation, warning that further restrictions could be enforced if conflict intensifies.
The airspace ban impacts key flight corridors from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, including routes from Thailand, China, and the Philippines. Cambodian authorities emphasize this is a preemptive safety measure based on lessons from global conflict zones, assuring that air travel remains operational—just more cautious. The situation remains fluid with potential for more stringent aviation controls.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending.

A Comoros-flagged livestock ship was attacked off Yemen’s Red Sea coast near Mocha by unidentified gunmen in a small boat. The vessel was en route from Somalia to Saudi Arabia when it came under fire. Though no group has claimed responsibility, the incident adds to growing fears over shipping safety amid ongoing Houthi threats. Security firm Ambrey warns vessels to avoid eastern waters near the Hanish Islands. With the U.S. drawing back and Israel escalating strikes, tensions in the Red Sea continue to rise.

Rising tensions in the Gulf have prompted Saudi Arabia to urgently deploy its US-made THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) air defense system amid fresh Iranian threats of missile attacks. Intelligence reports warn that Iran could target critical Saudi infrastructure and American military assets in the region. The deployment underscores deepening security cooperation between Washington and Riyadh, even as US officials privately admit concern about Iran’s expanding missile capabilities.
