The political crisis in the Middle East is a complex issue that not only affects the region, but also global stability. Various factors such as ethnic strife, geopolitics, and intervention by foreign powers contribute to prolonged instability. One of the main causes of this crisis is regional power competition, especially between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Both countries seek to expand their influence through proxy conflicts, as seen in Syria and Yemen. In Syria, the civil war has become a battleground for international and regional powers, with Iran backing Bashar al-Assad’s regime and Saudi Arabia supporting opposition groups. On the other hand, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to be a source of tension. Although various peace efforts have been made, no permanent solution has been achieved. The addition of new settlements in the occupied territories adds to tensions and creates social injustice for Palestinians. The refugee crisis is also worsening, with millions of people forced to flee their homes as a result of the conflict. Neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Jordan and Türkiye face major challenges in handling this refugee flow. The deteriorating humanitarian conditions in refugee camps are in the world’s spotlight. In Iraq, the power vacuum following the fall of Saddam Hussein continues to give rise to sectarian conflict. The rise of ISIS adds complexity to the situation; although the group has been beaten back, its ideology still influences many individuals throughout the region. Stability in Iraq depends heavily on the government’s ability to tackle sectarian settlements and empower local communities. Violence in Libya shows the other side of this crisis, where after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, war between political factions made things worse. Support from foreign powers prolonged the conflict, leading to widespread human rights violations. The importance of natural resources, particularly oil and gas, also plays a role in conflicts in the Middle East. The United States and Western countries are often involved in foreign policy related to securing energy access. This creates deeper tensions between Western countries and emerging oil-producing countries. Climate change is also starting to affect political stability in the Middle East. Reduced water availability due to global warming is making matters worse and could trigger new conflicts or intensify existing tensions, especially in countries dependent on agriculture. Amidst all this uncertainty, the role of international organizations, such as the United Nations, has become increasingly important. Mediation efforts and peacekeeping missions are needed to reduce tensions and facilitate dialogue between conflict parties. Thus, the political crisis in the Middle East is not only a regional issue, but has global consequences that require attention and action from all parties. Adaptation to new dynamics, accompanied by collaborative efforts to create sustainable peace, is an inevitable step. The involvement of the international community and long-term strategies are key to overcoming this challenge.
