The development of conflict in the Middle East continues to be in the global spotlight, influenced by various political, social and economic factors. One of the latest issues that dominates is the tension between Israel and Palestine, which reached its peak with the attack that occurred in October 2023. This attack triggered a military response from Israel and worsened the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. International measures, including UN Security Council resolutions, have attempted to ease tensions, but their impact has been minimal. On the other hand, tensions between Iran and Israel show no signs of easing. Iran is increasingly supporting armed groups in the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon. In response, Israel carried out air strikes on strategic locations in Syria that were allegedly used to store weapons. This confrontation creates fears of greater escalation, especially if large countries such as the United States and Russia are involved. Another development is the process of normalizing relations between several Arab countries and Israel, which began with the Abraham Accords. Egypt and the United Arab Emirates are examples of countries that increasingly prioritize diplomatic relations, despite the complexity of the Palestinian conflict. Economic programs and military cooperation are growing, but still face challenges from groups opposed to normalization. Apart from that, the conflict in Yemen is no less striking. The civil war that began in 2014 caused a severe humanitarian crisis. The Saudi Arabian-led coalition and the Houthi group continue to fight, with a fragile ceasefire. International organizations show deep concern for the suffering of the Yemeni people, but efforts for a peaceful resolution have not shown significant progress. The situation in Iraq also presents new challenges. After the defeat of ISIS, tensions between Shiite and Sunni groups increased, with Iranian-backed armed groups continuing to operate. The Iraqi government struggles to enforce control over areas controlled by militias, and frequently faces attacks from extremists. In Libya, the unstable political situation led to clashes between two rival governments. Despite international support, the peace process has stagnated, with the risk of a recurrence of wider armed conflict. Unification efforts under the Government of National Accord remain faced with challenges, including increased paramilitary activity. With the emergence of climate change issues, many countries in the region are also starting to feel its impacts, such as droughts and water crises which can generate social tensions. Appropriate national policies and regional cooperation are becoming increasingly important to address these more complex issues. Amid ongoing tensions and conflicts, hopes for stability and peace in the Middle East still seem distant.
