From 10 to 20 December 2017 in the Middle East

During the second decade of December two main events affected the Middle East: the U.S President's decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and the Houthi rebels' ballistic missile targeting  the Saudi Arabia's Royal Palace in Riyadh. At the same time stock markets rose steadily! It's easy to understand how human rights abuses and violations of international law are strictly related to the increase of stock markets around the world. At first glance, it seems that the two facts contradict each other. But it isn't always the case.
