Political tensions in the Middle East have increased significantly in recent years, triggered by various internal and external factors. One of the main causes is the long-standing conflict in Syria, where tensions between the government and rebel groups are creating instability in the region. The impact of this conflict extends to neighboring countries such as Türkiye, Lebanon, and Iraq, which face growing refugee flows and the threat of terrorist attacks. In Iraq, sectarian tensions between Sunnis and Shiites are increasingly simmering. After the defeat of ISIS, competition for political power and resources remains intense. Political parties representing different communities are often caught up in infighting, worsening the security situation and making political stability in the country even more fragile. Lebanon also did not escape this turmoil. The influence of Hezbollah, a pro-Iran group that has military and political power, is increasingly dominating. Moreover, a severe economic crisis added pressure to a government deemed unable to address underlying problems. Tensions between political parties are relentless, with divisions further strengthening the dividing lines between various ethnic and religious communities. In a broader context, the intervention of large countries such as the United States, Russia and European countries also exacerbated tensions. For example, the controversial US policies in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as Russia’s support for the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, are increasingly creating friction between global and regional powers. Relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which have experienced increasing tensions in recent years, are in the spotlight. The power struggle between these two countries has had an impact on the conflict in Yemen, where the protracted civil war shows no signs of ending. Meanwhile, the normalization of relations between Israel and several Arab countries, through the Abraham Accords, created new political dynamics. Although peace is considered a step forward, many citizens feel marginalized, especially in the context of the Palestinian struggle, which remains a sensitive issue throughout the Arab world. With various political, economic and military interests, tensions in the region are likely to continue to increase. Political observers predict that without constructive dialogue and sustainable development, the Middle East will remain a field of conflict and uncertainty. This increase in tensions also opens up opportunities for extremist organizations to recruit new members, adding challenges to stability in the region. Facing these challenges, an inclusive diplomatic strategy becomes increasingly important. Negotiations involving all parties—opposite events—can be the key to reducing tensions. However, the complex and frequently changing political realities of the Middle East require a sensitive and adaptive approach, which takes into account the history and culture of each country.
