The Middle East, a region burdened by decades of conflict fueled by religious, political, and economic tensions, stands at the crossroads of global peace and instability, demanding urgent and unified international action.

The history of Middle Eastern conflicts predates modern history. The region has been a victim of religious wars for centuries. The region’s energy resources and political instability have aggravated its significance in global geopolitics. Continuous religious, ideological, political, and ethnic conflicts and crises have led to a perennial war in the region, exacerbating social chaos and other complications, leading to regional and global instability.

Analysts and policymakers around the world are currently closely examining and analyzing the prospects of the conversion of these instabilities and conflicts into another major global conflict among the global powers. The patterns of these Middle Eastern conflicts hold the potential to spark a disastrous and bloodiest international war. Historical socio-economic and political factors are the primary drivers and contributors of these conflicts. However, religion, including sectarian and interreligious wars, remains the utmost cause of conflict and instability in the region. Conflicts between Zionism and Islam, and the rift between Sunni and Shia, are among the most prominent causes of instability........
