The Middle East conflict continues to experience complex and varied dynamics, with recent developments having a significant impact on the geopolitical situation in the region. One of the most striking developments is the shift in relations between Arab countries and Israel. Following the signing of the Abraham accords in 2020, several Arab countries, such as the UAE and Bahrain, have established closer diplomatic ties with Israel. This is an important step in reducing Israel’s isolation in the Arab world and opens up opportunities for cooperation in various fields, including economic and security. In addition, tensions between Iran and Western countries remain high, especially regarding Iran’s nuclear program. Despite diplomatic efforts to revive the nuclear deal abandoned in 2018, deadlock remains. Sanctions imposed by the US and Iran’s response by increasing nuclear activities are the main focus. On the other hand, Iran’s ties with proxy groups in the region, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Shia militias in Iraq, continue to add to military tensions. The conflict in Syria also continues. While Bashar al-Assad’s government is supported by Russia and Iran, reconciliation efforts remain complicated. Syria’s northern region, controlled by Kurds and opposition groups, has become a focal point of the conflict. Türkiye is seeking to expel Kurdish groups, which it views as a threat to its national security. Türkiye’s military approach and airstrikes in the region have led to an increase in the number of refugees and tensions with Russia. In Gaza, violence between Hamas and Israel has increased again. Rocket attacks from Gaza and Israel’s military response created a cycle of retaliation that impacted the civilian population. The debate over a two-state solution has intensified, with many skeptical of the possibility of lasting peace. Humanitarian conditions in Gaza have also worsened, exacerbating tensions and creating space for extremism. In the Yemeni context, the protracted conflict between the government supported by the Saudi Arabian-led coalition and the Houthi rebels continues to be bloody. UN-facilitated peace efforts have repeatedly been hampered by incompatibility of interests. Yemen’s economy is in critical condition, with the blockade exacerbating an already severe humanitarian crisis. Despite all the tensions, there is hope that diplomacy can defuse the conflict. Recent meetings between Arab and Israeli leaders, as well as efforts to engage the various parties in dialogue, promise opportunities for long-term stability. Major powers such as the US and Russia continue to play a key role in creating a favorable environment for negotiations. Concerns about terrorism, refugees, and drug trafficking are additional factors in the evolving conflict dynamics. Technological developments, such as the use of drones and digital information, are also changing the way conflict plays out. As non-state actors become more skilled at utilizing these technologies, the possibilities for resolving conflicts by traditional means are diminishing. On the other hand, civil society is increasingly involved in advocacy for peace, demonstrating the potential for bottom-up change in conflict resolution efforts. Economic involvement and investment in post-conflict recovery in countries such as Iraq and Syria are part of the strategy to build sustainable peace. This shows that although major challenges remain, the path to conflict resolution can be built through closer regional and international cooperation.
