El profeta y la pandemia

The delicate board of the Middle East has been shaken by the Covid-19 crisis and the fall in prices in the oil market, which will have consequences in Europe, as is usually the case. The septuagenarian Israeli-Palestinian conflict has fragmented into new fault lines in the region. On the one hand, an alliance with a prophetic name, the "Abraham Agreement", which goes from the United States to Abu Dhabi, from Morocco to Sudan passing through Israel and grouping Egypt and Saudi Arabia, supporting Marshal Haftar in Libya and with the sights set on Iraq to remove it from the orbit of Iran. A "triple entente" that has been given the name of the prophet to legitimize the grouping of Jews, Christians and Muslims. On the other hand, the axis of the "Shiite brotherhood", which groups Gaza, Qatar, Turkey and Iran, with a presence in Syria, Libya and Yemen, and the specific support of Russia. In the midst of these seismic convulsions, Beirut jumps into the air, refugees arrive in waves to Europe, also militant fundamentalists in a clandestine way, and the Turkish president, Erdogan, tries to turn Istanbul into the new center of world Islam. Meanwhile, Islamic terrorism has struck again in Europe in the name of an unorganized jihadism, protected by scattered social networks of the Islamic world that encourage the fight to continue, when in the White House there is a new tenant who must restore the trust of your allies. Along the same lines undertaken in his book "Salir del caos", Gilles Kepel supports his reflections with maps and a chronology that put current affairs in perspective. They help us to understand it and to anticipate the changes that are undoubtedly coming, and that will have consequences throughout the world and in Europe in particular.
