The diplomatic crisis in the Middle East is reaching new intensity, affecting interstate relations and regional stability. Various dynamics, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Iran-Saudi Arabia tensions, and the Syrian civil war, contribute to this instability. First, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains the main focus of this crisis. Most recently, rocket attacks from Gaza and Israel’s response, which implemented an aggressive military strategy, had a fatal impact on civilians. The UN and various countries try to reconcile, but the results are often hampered by political factors and militancy. Resolutions 242 and 338 based on land for peace were often unacceptable to both sides, creating stagnation in the diplomatic process. Meanwhile, tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia continue to worsen. Conflicts of interest in Yemen, where the two countries support different parties, are straining relations. Iran’s continued nuclear program is causing anxiety in Riyadh and strengthening the alliance between Saudi Arabia and Western countries. This fight is driven not only by Iran’s regional ambitions, but also by Saudi Arabia’s concerns about Iran’s potential expanding influence in the region. In Syria, a civil war that has lasted more than a decade is changing the regional power map. Russian intervention and military support from Türkiye, along with other proxies, further complicated diplomatic efforts. The UN is trying to facilitate dialogue, but divisions between Bashar al-Assad’s government and a fragmented opposition make a peace agreement more difficult to achieve. Humanitarian conditions in Syria continue to deteriorate, with millions displaced and an urgent need for assistance. The role of big countries in this conflict also cannot be ignored. The United States, Russia, and European countries have different strategic interests in the Middle East. The US tends to support secular and moderate regimes, while Russia prefers alliances with authoritarian countries. This creates new tensions in realizing a sustainable and inclusive solution. The diplomatic crisis in the Middle East is not only the result of armed conflict, but also includes deep economic and social problems. Countries with abundant natural resources are often mired in corruption, which amplifies public discontent. Protest movements, such as those seen in Lebanon and Iraq, show that people are increasingly dissatisfied with their rulers. Optimism in resolving this crisis remains, with a number of new diplomatic initiatives emerging. However, access to productive dialogue is hampered by mistrust between the parties involved. The foreign policy direction of the countries involved also depends heavily on the new leadership and their respective internal priorities. With the multiple complexities involved, the future of the Middle East remains uncertain. Every action, whether diplomatic or military, must be carried out carefully to avoid further escalation that would have a major impact on regional stability and global security. This uncertainty challenges diplomats and world leaders to find wiser, sustainable and fair solutions.
