Ship explosion in Jabal Ali UAE and a few points:
An explosion on the ship on Jabal Ali in the UAE shook Dubai and sparked speculation in the early hours of the night.
In the first minutes of the blast, many regional experts turned their attention to Saudi Arabia and spoke of the possibility of Saudi involvement. Given the escalation of the Saudi-UAE dispute in Yemen, these experts did not lose sight of the fact that the explosion was carried out by the Saudis, and in fact, the said ship was targeted by the Saudis. Recent disputes between Saudi Arabia and the UAE over the entry of Emirati people into Saudi Arabia in order to prevent the transmission of the new coronavirus to Saudi Arabia, which was considered by the Emirati people as a form of national insult, was a factor in the Saudi occupation. This incident led to the escalation of the intense conflict between the UAE and Saudi Arabia over the issue of oil pricing in OPEC Plus, which took place in recent days, in the formation of this issue in a very serious way.
But regardless of these analyzes, and despite the fact that the UAE government has declared the ship caught fire and nothing more; But what is certain is that the very strong relations between Saudi Arabia and the UAE reached their lowest level in recent days, and the possibility of a rupture in it in recent times is stronger than ever. Which side of Saudi Arabia and the UAE should the Gulf states respond to in the face of this strained relationship? It remains to be seen whether these differences will soon manifest themselves in the form of severance and reciprocal sanctions.
