Saudi Arabia Seeks to Reroute IMEC Through Syria, Bypassing Israel

Saudi Arabia is promoting an initiative to remove Israel from the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) project and reroute the transportation corridor through Syria instead, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) is a major infrastructure initiative designed to transport goods between the Indian subcontinent and Europe through the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, and Greece. The project was announced by U. S. President Joe Biden during the G20 Summit in September 2023.

3 tracks are shaping the Middle East’s post-Iran war order

The Iran battlefield might be quieter and diplomacy might have resumed, but the main contest has shifted to the architecture of the Middle East. The question is no longer whether Iran can be contained, the Strait of Hormuz can remain open or another round of escalation can be avoided. The larger issue is who will write the rules after the shock. Three tracks are taking shape. The first is led by the United States and built around the expansion of the Abraham Accords, the integration of Israel...
