UAE adviser Gargash calls for need to revive joint ties on Gulf security, defence

UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash has emphasized the urgent need to restore joint Gulf action, particularly in the realms of security and defense. Gargash made these remarks following the aggression against Arab Gulf states, which he believes has made it clear that they are all targeted and that their security is indivisible.

In a post on X, Gargash stated that targeting Saudi Arabia undermines the security of the Gulf as a whole. He further stressed that there is a pressing need to revive joint Gulf action, especially in its security and defense aspects, and to strengthen the collective security framework. Gargash noted that this aspect has seen significant neglect, which has only emboldened others to overreach against the Gulf states.

He reiterated that Gulf security is a shared responsibility that cannot be compromised with leniency or delay.
