perspectiveA proposed regional pact should combine hard and soft components, including an Arab-Turkish air and missile defense dialogue, joint maritime monitoring in the Gulf and Red Sea, coordinated red lines against attacks on civilians, joint initiatives for the displaced, a regional fund for environmental adaptation, support for the rebuilding of Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza, and a push to end wars in Yemen, Libya, and Sudan.

procedureThe author proposes a three-phase process for regional security in the Middle East: first, a functional regional security forum on air defense, maritime security, and infrastructure protection; second, coordination on conflict files including Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Yemen, and Libya; and third, institutionalizing an economic pillar for reconstruction and trade.
