Global Conflict: The Impact of War in the Middle East The war in the Middle East continues to be in the world’s spotlight, with impacts that reach many aspects of life, both locally and globally. In the recent period, several major conflicts such as the war in Syria, Yemen, and tensions between Israel and Palestine have shaken regional stability. Each of these conflicts has complex root causes, including interconnected ethnic, religious and geopolitical issues. The social impact of this conflict is very significant. Millions of people were forced to flee, resulting in a refugee crisis that hit surrounding countries, especially Türkiye, Jordan and Lebanon. Refugees often face discrimination, lack of access to education and employment, and health problems. The long-term effects of this crisis could lead to social tensions in the host country and potentially trigger new conflicts. The economies of regions affected by the war also suffered heavy losses. Infrastructure was destroyed, reducing production capacity and forcing many businesses to close. Limited resources, such as clean water and electricity, make the situation worse. In countries like Yemen, where hunger is a serious problem, the economic impact of conflict impacts public health and quality of life, creating an uninhabitable environment. From a geopolitical perspective, the Middle East is a strategic region with abundant energy resources. The long-standing problems in this region have attracted the attention of major countries, including the United States, Russia and other regional countries. Foreign intervention often adds complexity to conflicts, with goals ranging from maintaining stability to expressing dominance. The growth of extremist groups is also a direct impact of instability in the Middle East. The absence of a strong government and the chaotic situation provide opportunities for groups such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda to thrive. This is not only a threat to countries in the region, but also to global security. Terrorist attacks that occur in various parts of the world are often connected to the roots of conflict in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the cultural impact of this conflict cannot be ignored. Valuable cultural heritage is often targeted during fighting. Historical monuments and archaeological sites are destroyed, which eliminates the legacy of civilizations that have existed for thousands of years. This creates losses not only for the countries involved, but also for humanity as a whole. Finally, international pressure to achieve a peaceful resolution in the Middle East is underway. Various international organizations and countries are trying to promote dialogue to reduce existing tensions. However, the success of this effort is still questionable, considering the complexity and many parties involved. Achieving long-term peace in the Middle East requires a holistic approach, involving effective diplomacy and the political will of all participating actors.
