    “Many young Kuwaitis have demonstrated maturity in searching for permanent solutions to the country’s problems, while others have pursued political advocacy and engaged in campaigns* that have raised awareness about issues relevant to the youth and to women.” *@grayarea_kw 🙏

    Kuwait’s new government is readying itself for an uphill battle with the incoming legislature. Both unfailingly tend to reproduce themselves regardless of seeming change. More of my take on 's new government and parliament in this piece.

    My take on Kuwait elections: Voters punish incumbents but change still hinges on leadership vote & ability of new government to forge a common national agenda.

    The ’s endorsement of Gulf reconciliation talks is unsurprising; in line with Kuwaiti mediation’s attempt to address the concerns of all parties; and reaffirms Saudi’s representation of the quartet.

    The emir of notes Saudi’s representation of the UAE, Egypt, & Bahrain in the Gulf reconciliation talks. This partly explains their silence. The Saudis won’t strike a deal without involving their partners. It’s also not characteristic of Kuwait to sidestep other neighbors.

    Kuwaitis buoyed by changes in the executive and judicial branches and decided to contribute to change via the legislative. A befitting start of a new era that now requires following up with a truly new gov + long awaited reforms

    نتمنى على السلطتين التشريعية والتنفيذية القادمتين التعامل مع تحديات بشكل شامل والذهاب إلى أصل المشكلة المتعلقة بالهوية الوطنية والمنظومة السياسية

    Imp. pt by .: rarely since Jun 2017 there have been similarly worded statements issued across board on & . This round saw , , SG, & issue nearly identical statements in succession.

    The and statements are extremely similar, if not identical - something the GCC has missed since 2017. Let us hope that is the start of more such statements and actions. Kuwaiti mediation continues unabated!

    وتعليق سعودي من وزير الخارجية يحمل نفس نغمة التفاؤل في التصريح القطري: "ننظر ببالغ التقدير لجهود دولة الكويت الشقيقة لتقريب وجهات النظر حيال الأزمة الخليجية، ونشكر المساعي الأمريكية في هذا الخصوص، ونتطلع لأن تتكلل بالنجاح لما فيه مصلحة وخير المنطقة"

    تعليق فوري من قطر على بيان وزير الخارجية الكويتي مثنيا على دور والولايات المتحدة لحل الأزمة الخليجية ولا تعليق حتى الان من المملكة العربية السعودية وبقية الدول المعنية Immediate comment from Qatar on Kuwait’s statement is met with no reaction -yet- from the other side

    The Kuwaiti statement is an imperative step towards resolving the GCC crisis. We express our gratitude to the State of Kuwait for their mediation & the United States for their efforts. The interest and security of the people of the Gulf & the region remain our top priority.

    This announcement was expected earlier, but w/ some sort of breakthrough even if modest. For the statement to only note discussions are underway, could mean that something or some party may have hampered efforts or that an announcement is deferred until the summit or after Jan 20

    foreign minister acknowledges talks underway to mend the Gulf rift. No breakthrough yet. We were close this time of year last year around the GCC Summit. Permanently ending the rift would be the best way to honor Sh. Sabah’s legacy.
