3. Egypt cut ties to Assad regimeEgypt has announced increased support for the armed uprising against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, cutting diplomatic ties to the Damascus regime and holding a massive rally to drum-up funds and potential fighters for the effort. President Mohamed Morsi, a Sunni Islamist, told thousands attending the rally at Cairo Stadium on Saturday that the Arab world’s most populous nation would stand with the Syrian revolution against Mr Assad’s Alawite Muslim regime, which is mostly drawn from a Shia minority sect. The Egyptian government ordered the closure of the Syrian embassy in Cairo and recalled its charge d’affaires from Damascus. A Syrian official in Damascus quoted by Syria’s official news agency condemned Mr Morsi’s decision to cut ties between the two countries, accusing Egypt of joining what it described as a US-led conspiracy. 4. Ankara takes slow road to rapprochement with IsraelYosef Levi Safari, Israel’s chargé d’affaires in Ankara, was invited to attend a state reception in August at the Cankaya presidential palace. This was the first invitation to an Israeli envoy since May 2010, when its forces stormed the ship Mavi Marmara in international waters as it was heading for the Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip. Israel killed nine people, causing the two countries to withdraw ambassadors. So slow is the pace of political rapprochement between Turkey and Israel that some Israeli media organisations seized on his attendance – at what was a routine diplomatic gathering – as a news event. Mr Safari’s invite came just days after Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s prime minister, accused Israel of masterminding the coup that toppled Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. In response, Avigdor Lieberman, Israel’s rightwing ex-foreign minister, compared Mr Erdogan to Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler’s propaganda chief. Relations between two of the Middle East’s pre-eminent economic and military powers were not meant to be so difficult. In March, US President Barack Obama, on a visit to Israel, sought to reconcile two of his nation’s strongest regional allies when he brokered a call between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mr Erdogan, in which the former apologised for the incident, the first of three main Turkish preconditions for restoring ties. But since then reconciliation talks have foundered, officials and analysts say, as Israeli officials bridle at what they see as hostile and anti-Jewish rhetoric by Mr Erdogan, and the Turkish prime minister copes with his own domestic political problems and growing isolation in the Middle East. Yet, while Turkey and Israel’s political relations remain fragile, growing commercial ties suggest that companies and citizens are finding common economic interests. The joint trade agreement, signed in 1996, remained intact through their political estrangement; foreign trade, after dipping, bounced back. 5. UN urges greater cooperation in KosovoThere is little sign of a rapprochement between Belgrade and Pristina despite both agreeing to attend EU-sponsored talks. Ethnic relations in Kosovo appear to be deteriorating and could ignite wider violence. That is the conclusion of a report from the United Nations special envoy to the fledgling state. Lamberto Zannier told the Security Council that Kosovo and Serbia needed to work out their differences and move forward. “Kosovo’s long term stability and prosperity is inextricably linked with that of its neighbours and participation in structures fostering regional co-operation is key to the development needed to ensure long-lasting peace in the region and the hope for a better future for its people,” he said. 6. Japan agrees with China at summit to repair ties The leaders of Japan and China met on the sidelines of a regional conference for their first formal talks since a territorial dispute erupted two month ago. Meanwhile, the two nations’ foreign ministers agreed Sunday to improve ties through private and cultural exchanges, a Japanese official said. Relations soured after Japan detained a Chinese skipper whose fishing boat collided with Japanese patrol vessels off disputed islands in September. The boat captain was later released, but tensions have persisted. The dispute spurred thousands of Japanese to participate in anti-China demonstrations over the weekend. Beijing had cut off ministerial-level contacts with Japan after the collision in September, and it was unclear until the last minute whether the two leaders would meet formally in Yokohama. The top spokesman for the Chinese Foreign ministry said that Beijing was “satisfied with the outcome” of the APEC summit meeting. 7. Qatar stirs Gulf diplomatic crisis Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have withdrawn their ambassadors from neighbouring Qatar, as frustration over the gas-rich emirate’s maverick foreign policy prompts the worst intra-Gulf diplomatic crisis in recent history. The three nations, which are seeking to marginalise their neighbours support for political Islam in the region, cited Qatar’s unwillingness to adhere to agreements of the 32 year-old six member Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) as the reason for recalling their envoys, according to the official Saudi Press Agency. The UAE’s crackdown on domestic Islamists has over the past couple of years prompted several disagreements between Emiratis and Sheikh Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who is based in Qatar, and his supporters. The ousting of Egypt’s Mohamed Morsi, the country’s first elected president who was a member of the Brotherhood, has become the biggest flashpoint in GCC-Qatar relations. The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have generously supported the military-backed interim regime. Qatar, a financial supporter of Mr Morsi’s government, has criticised the manner in which the president was deposed. The three Gulf states have also been pushing Doha to rein in the popular pan-Arab satellite channel, Al Jazeera, which they accuse of promoting an Islamist and Muslim Brotherhood agenda. Oman, which does not tend to co-ordinate closely with the other Gulf monarchies, and Kuwait, did not withdraw ambassadors. 8. Ivanishvili confirmed as prime minister of Georgia Georgian tycoon Bidzina Ivanishvili has been confirmed as his country's new prime minister, three weeks after his bloc's shock election victory. Parliament, meeting in the city of Kutaisi, ratified his appointment by 88 votes in favour to 54 against. He told MPs the new government would "develop democratic institutions and establish the rule of law". His victory was a blow to Georgia's pro-Western President, Mikhail Saakashvili, in power since 2004. The new prime minister, who made his fortune in Russia, is seen as someone who might mend ties with Moscow. Georgia severed diplomatic relations with Russia in August 2008, after losing a brief but disastrous war over its breakaway territory of South Ossetia. 9. Crimea: Ukraine’s next flashpoint? Crimea is a centre of pro-Russian sentiment, which can spill into separatism. The region – a peninsula on Ukraine’s Black Sea Coast – has 2.3 million people, a majority of whom identify themselves as ethnic Russians and speak Russian. The region voted heavily for Victor Yanukovich in the 2010 presidential elections, and many people believe he is the victim of a coup – prompting separatists in Crimea’s parliament to vote for joining the Russian federation and a referendum on secession. 10. US and Cuba: Historic Thaw In a historic thaw of a relationship chilled since the early days of the Cold War, the United States announced plans Wednesday to restore diplomatic and economic ties with the communist island of Cuba. President Barack Obama declared that the United States was ending an "outdated approach" after five decades of isolation failed to accomplish the goal of a democratic and prosperous Cuba. The United States and Cuba severed diplomatic relations in 1961, two years after forces led by Fidel Castro overthrew the Cuban government. Obama said that the United States would relax travel, banking and commerce restrictions, and he instructed Secretary of State John Kerry to start talks to re-establish diplomatic relations, including the eventual opening of an American embassy in Havana. Obama also told Kerry to review the U.S. designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, which has been in place since 1982. The American policy shift was the culmination of 18 months of talks between the United States and Cuba in Canada, and a pivotal meeting in the fall at the Vatican, senior administration officials said. Pope Francis, who personally sent letters to Castro and Obama lobbying for greater openness, offered his congratulations. The announcement was certain to have repercussions throughout American politics and the emerging 2016 presidential campaign. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. and a potential candidate, said the policy change was "the latest in a long line of failed attempts by President Obama to appease rogue regimes at all cost." |
