Obama et le Moyen-Orient: chute libre?


Établir une politique étrangère pour le Moyen-Orient est un défi pour toutes les administrations, mais il semble que l'approche du Président Obama depuis le "printemps arabe" ne soit pas appropriée. Pouvait-on faire plus et mieux?

 "Instead, Obama looks poised to leave an even more dangerous and unpredictable region than the one he inherited in 2009. “The mood here is that we really are at a crisis point that is unprecedented in recent memory,” said Suzanne Maloney, a senior fellow in the Middle East policy center at the Brookings Institution, who spoke from the Qatari capital of Doha. “This feels more intense and more complicated” than past moments of turmoil, Maloney added.

Even the one constant in the region for the U.S. — its relationship with Israel — is as strained as it’s been in almost 25 years. Some American officials pointed to bright spots, noting that Israel faces few day-to-day security threats at the moment and that important security and intelligence cooperation with countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia remains strong.

One official called the Arab coalition against Yemen’s Houthis a positive development. Kerry has supported discussions in the region about standing up a multination Arab counter-terrorism force that could root out radical groups like ISIL and Al Qaeda. That would relieve pressure on the U.S. to fight radicalism directly."
