Regional Leaders Readjust Their Posture toward the Pro-Iranian "Resistance Front"
[Delphi Global Analysis, 7Aug08] Israel Elad Altman - The Jordanian regime is thawing to Hamas and to the Muslim Brotherhood after years of alienation. Yemen's President Salih stopped the war on the al-Huthi insurgency without winning it. Lebanon's Druze leader, Walid Jumblat, appears to be edging away from the "March 14" Coalition and is making amends with Hizbullah. Each of these developments should be understood in its own particular context, but they may have a common denominator: These actors seem to be seeking to readjust their positions to a situation where the "moderate camp" is losing ground to the "Resistance Front."
