Artists across the MENA region have welcomed the latest “historic” development in the GCC through heartfelt posts on their social media accounts.

“Strength exists within unity”—these were the words of Lebanese and international soprano and icon Majida El Roumi as she expressed her joy over the recent GCC reconciliation on Tuesday.

The Lebanese artist welcomed news of the “Arab reconciliation” – which marked the end of the three-year-long GCC crisis – on her social media, saying the issue is “dear to her heart”.

“[H]ow beautiful the upcoming spring will be, when all brothers are gathered in the heart of the Arab world…at a time of painful Lebanese sorrow, exhausting anxiety, and grave dangers, the news of Arab reconciliation filled my heart. I rejoiced after not rejoicing for a long time,” she said in a tweet.

Majida was not the only artist to welcome the GCC reconciliation.
