The Middle East is witnessing a wave of renewed conflicts that are no longer the traditional form of interstate conflict. Rather, they have evolved into more complex and fragmented forms due to multiple factors, including the disintegration of the nation-state, the rise of non-state actors, and increasing regional and international interventions. This study examines the new dynamics governing these conflicts, analyzing the shift in the nature of actors from states to militias and transnational groups, as well as the shift in the tools of conflict, which have shifted from regular wars to asymmetric and proxy wars. The study also discusses the role of major powers such as the United States, Russia, and China in reshaping the contours of conflict in the region, and anticipates future scenarios in light of global geopolitical transformations. The study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the structure of modern conflict, exploring the opportunities for settlement, and the potential risks if comprehensive political solutions continue to be absent.Downloads
