Саудовская Аравия изучает маршрут IMEC через Сирию, обходя Израиль
Война в Газе и утрата импульса в направлении нормализации отношений между Израилем и Саудовской Аравией вынудили Эр-Рияд пересмотреть маршрут проекта.
Оценка
Riyadh is actively considering a detour for the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor that bypasses Israel entirely, routing instead through Syria. This shift reflects how the Gaza war has stalled the normalization talks that were supposed to underpin the original plan. The move signals a strategic recalibration by Saudi Arabia, prioritizing project viability over diplomatic breakthroughs with Israel. The key question is whether a Syrian route is logistically and politically feasible given the ongoing instability there.
