The Middle East conflict continues to experience complex and diverse dynamics, creating a lot of debate at the international level. One of the striking recent developments is the increase in tensions between Israel and Palestinian armed groups. Since the end of last year, violent clashes have increased again in the Gaza Strip, resulting in casualties on both sides. In this context, rocket attacks from Gaza and Israel’s military response are the main focus. In addition, shifts in regional alliances appear increasingly clear. The normalization agreements between Israel and Arab countries, which began with the Abraham Accords in 2020, show that many countries in the region are starting to see Israel as a strategic partner. However, these relations are often overshadowed by public protests against normalizing relations with Israel, especially in countries such as Tunisia and Jordan. On the other hand, Iran continues to play an important role in the dynamics of this conflict. Tehran’s support for groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza further complicates the situation. Iran’s nuclear plans, a major concern for the US and its allies, also influence the foreign policies of countries in the region. International sanctions against Iran have not achieved their expected goals, prompting Tehran to strengthen its position in the Middle East. In Syria, the civil war is still ongoing although there are signs of reducing the intensity of violence. The recovery of territory controlled by Bashar al-Assad’s government creates new challenges, including refugees returning to their homes. The humanitarian situation in Syria remains critical, with millions of people still trapped in poor conditions and lacking aid. The humanitarian crisis in Yemen also continues. The war involving the Saudi Arabian-led coalition against Houthi rebels has caused thousands of deaths and mass starvation. Despite diplomatic efforts to stop the fighting, a peaceful scenario still seems far from reality. In Iraq, sectarian conflict still has a deep impact, especially after the expulsion of ISIS. Even though the terrorist group has been militarily dealt with, the threat of terrorism remains. Tensions between the Kurds and Baghdad’s central government are also a source of ongoing conflict. The latest developments in the international context can be seen from the involvement of Russia and China, which are trying to increase their influence in the Middle East. Their diplomatic mission to mediate the conflict between Arab countries and Israel shows that they are trying to replace the US role as a leader in resolving this conflict. Pressure on governments in countries such as Lebanon is also increasing. The prolonged economic crisis accompanied by systemic corruption has encouraged protests involving various levels of society. This creates political uncertainty and risks to regional stability. On the economic side, the impact of conflict on infrastructure development and community welfare is very pronounced. Many countries in the Middle East, although rich in natural resources, are trapped in conditions that exacerbate poverty and injustice. Political uncertainty and fragile security conditions hinder foreign investment and sustainable economic development. Looking to the future, conflict resolution in the Middle East requires a cooperative and inclusive approach from all stakeholders. Settlement efforts that only promote momentary political interests will not bring about meaningful change. Dialogue between countries in conflict and attention to humanitarian aspects are the keys to sustainable peace.
