According to a report by Al Jazeera, as cited by Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt, US Central Command (CENTCOM) is planning a security meeting with 11 Middle Eastern states. The participants include Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the UAE, and Yemen. The report frames the initiative as part of what it describes as the Trump administration's vision for a "new Middle East." The meeting has not yet been officially confirmed by CENTCOM or any of the participating states. The report follows a SAME-THREAD bulletin earlier this evening (Wed 19:26) indicating that CENTCOM held a regional security conference in Bahrain. It remains unclear whether this planned meeting is a follow-up to that conference or a separate track.
