Prospects of Peace in the Middle-East
Tranquility and the
absence of war is virtually the desire of all humans globally. Governments
strive to enforce peaceful coexistence within their countries to enable citizens'
political, social, and economic prosperity. However, peace in the middle east
has remained fragile due to the conflicts in the occupied territories in Israel
and Gaza strip since the inception of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948 (Halevy & Berson, 2022). The
inception led to conflict between Israel and Palestine over the occupied west
bank. The conflict has placed Muslim nations in the region into the camp supporting
Palestine and western countries on one side supporting Israel. The prospects of
peace in the middle-east shall be discussed hereunder.
Although many Arabs
may now be inclined to seek a peaceful resolution to this tragic war, many
others still view Israel as an alien intrusion whose sovereign Jewish character
must be removed. This is an important reason why peace is likely to remain
challenging. These Arabs are not just in charge or ruling over countries like
Libya. Yet, they represent significant parts of other nations, notably Egypt,
which is often recognized as one of the region's top "moderates,"
including the Palestinian Liberation Organization (Bayrak, 2021). Thus, the vastly varied perceptions
within society make the path to peace difficult. The Arab world regards
Israel's nature, objectives, and legitimacy, and these divisions affect significant
communities within each of the ranks and the state of Palestine.
The religious
significance of the middle-east has been a prospect that has impeded peace in
the region. Jerusalem, a city of religious importance, has been the cause of
turmoil. Muslims believe that the prophet Muhamad ascended to heaven, and thus
they fight to have control of the city. Similarly, Christians believe Jerusalem
is the birthplace of Abrahamic monotheism and Judaism Christianity. Hence, the
differing religious beliefs about Jerusalem have led to the war for the
scramble to control the city. It has led to conflict and threatened peace in
the region.
