Abstract

This research examines the reconciliation signs between Bahrain and Qatar, focusing on Saudi Arabia's mediating role. The February meeting of their foreign ministers at the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh marks a critical step towards mending their long-standing feud. The study looks into the causes behind the rapprochement, such as regional political shifts, economic ties, and international influences, and discusses the hurdles still facing this process, including unresolved territorial and ideological disputes. It concludes that Bahrain and Qatar's reconciliation could significantly contribute to the Gulf and the Middle East's stability and cooperation.
