The Arab world faces challenges in achieving autonomous
approaches in dealing with the Arab crises. It is also under Political
and intellectual debates in building an absolute independence of
regional and international axes powers.
The Arab political elites still feel disabled and weak in front of
other forces; they do not trust themselves to achieve absolute
independence.
Historical experiences confirm that only Arabs can achieve their
interests and manage their affairs independently without relying on
others. The regional and international parties did not take the Arabs'
hand in achieving their interests. Each of them only seeks to achieve
its interests and projects at the expense of Arab interests. Such a fact
requires Arab leaders' caution and attention when establishing
relations and alliances with regional and international powers.
Such awareness of this fact does not prevent cooperation with
some regional and international parties from achieving common
interests, serving Arab national security, confronting the Israeli
occupation in Palestine, and challenging any colonial hegemony,
whether from the Western or Eastern international powers.
Middle East Studies Center conferences in Jordan have achieved
many specific, intellectual, and political approaches over the past two
decades. These documents provided a comprehensive Arab project
and an Arab strategy to confront foreign projects that seek to penetrate
the Arab world and put their security and societies in danger, most
notably the Israeli occupation and the Zionist project.
These approaches require serious and practical rethinking by Arab
political elites about the complicated reality and its repercussions on the
Arab world. They are to return to the root of the actual anonymous Arab
project by which the vital interests and Arab security are in focus.Such a trend is possible considering the decline in internal armed
threats and the possibility of cooling hot regional disputes following
the resumption of Saudi-Iranian relations. This possibility is still valid
despite Iran's slowness and reluctance to back down from its
intervention in the Arab countries and its endeavor to export its
revolution.
The specific and comprehensive Arab national and patriotic
thinking guarantees the Arab political elite to survive, be strong, and
achieve an Arab role regionally and internationally.
In contrast, fear, hesitation, and dependence on a regional or
international party constitute comprehensive threats and increase the
fragility of the Arab states' stability and keep it with limited influence
in the region and the civilizational and international arena.
