Power politics, raw emotion and unfiltered candour—this Middle East Outlook panel became the summit’s most charged hour. Lebanon’s Ambassador Rami Mourtada, veteran British peer Lord Leigh, and former AP editor Dan Perry square off on Trump-style disruption, Iran’s nuclear end-game and the Gaza war’s moral crossroads—with the audience firing back.
Key Takeaways:
- Inflection-Point Region: Hope and peril are rising in parallel; strategic plans must cover breakthroughs and blow-ups alike.
- Disruptive Deal-Making: Unconventional actors—from Trump to Gulf brokers—can unlock agreements traditional diplomacy cannot; be prepared for surprise moves.
- Gaza’s Post-War Vacuum: Durable peace hinges on a credible civilian alternative to both Hamas control and perpetual Israeli oversight.
- Iran Negotiation Wildcard: A U.S.–Iran reset could redraw energy flows, defense budgets and investment maps across the Gulf.
