Abstract
During the past few years the Middle East has undergone significant geopolitical shifts. After the US policy to reduce entanglement in the Middle East and shifts its concentration to Indo-Pacific to counter China, the dynamics of Middle East has been changing. Middle East is transforming from conflict ridden region to a peaceful region. The rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran is the biggest manifestation of changing Middle East; followed by Saudi’s normalization with Syria and negotiations with Houthis in Yemen. This paper studies the roles of United States and China in the geopolitics of broader Middle East; how the disentanglement policy of the USA compelled Saudi Arabia to seek for alternative security framework; how China is extending its diplomatic influence in the Middle East. This paper also studies the role of regional giants in facilitating peaceful coexistence and economic integration. Lastly this paper studies pragmatic foreign policy of Saudi Arabia in promoting peace by normalizing relations with Iran, Syria and other countries and also compelling the US to rethink its policy towards the Middle East.
