Recent developments regarding the conflict in the Middle East show complex and constantly changing dynamics. Since 2020, tensions between various actors have increased, affecting regional and global stability. One of the main focuses is the long-running conflict in Syria, where various militant groups, governments and foreign powers are fighting for power. According to the latest reports, the humanitarian situation in Syria is deteriorating, with millions of people forced to flee and basic needs such as food and water becoming scarce. In Iraq, attention has been focused on the resurgence of the Islamic State group, which despite having lost much territory, remains active in carrying out sporadic attacks. The arrest of key leaders by Iraqi security forces represents a significant step in suppressing their activities, but many challenges remain to be overcome. International cooperation, especially between Iraq and the US, continues to eradicate this terrorist threat. To the south, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has heated up again with increasing violence in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Attacks from both sides have caused many casualties. Israel’s construction of illegal settlements in disputed territories is an ongoing source of tension. International leaders have called for a return to the negotiating table, but prospects for peace look bleak with increasing radicalization among youth. Lebanon, which is experiencing a severe economic crisis, has also become the focus of international attention. Tensions with Israel have increased again, especially regarding maritime border issues. The involvement of Hezbollah, an armed group that has great influence in Lebanon, is a factor that complicates the situation. Political and social instability in Lebanon prompted many citizens to protest demanding reform. Meanwhile, developments in Yemen point to an increasingly protracted conflict between the internationally recognized government and the Houthis, a rebel group backed by Iran. The humanitarian tragedy in Yemen continues to be in the world’s spotlight, with millions of people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. The announced ceasefire agreement has not been able to substantially stop the violence. Iran’s influence in the Middle East is also a concern. The country continues to expand its network of influence through support for armed groups in Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and Syria. Iran’s aggressive foreign policy could trigger a response from Sunni Arab states, especially Saudi Arabia, which fears Tehran’s expanding hegemony. Furthermore, relations between Gulf countries, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and Israel have undergone significant changes. The normalization of relations brought about through the Abraham Accords represents a potential change in regional power dynamics. However, public attitudes towards normalization remain mixed, especially among Palestinian supporters. The situation in the Middle East continues to be monitored by various parties, including international organizations that focus on peace and humanity. Given the various challenges that exist, the future of conflict in the region remains uncertain, requiring careful diplomacy and collaboration between countries to find sustainable solutions.
