Bloomberg covers an Atlantic Council conference call assessing the outcomes of the Gulf summit at Camp David:
The Gulf allies are just being polite, said Dov Zakheim, a former undersecretary of Defense and chief financial officer at the Defense Department. “It’s clear the Arabs are holding their fire,” Zakheim said on a call arranged by the Atlantic Council, a Washington policy group.
Zakheim and Mishaal al Gergawi, director of the Delma Institute, an Abu Dhabi-based research group, argued that the U.S. is doing little new for its Gulf allies, merely reaffirming old arrangements and existing ties.
