The rise or fail of middle powers will determine Middle East peace

The article discusses the current state of instability in the Middle East, driven by prolonged conflicts and warfare over the past two decades. It highlights the exhaustion of the region and the lack of faith in achieving lasting peace. With the limitations of U.S. military power becoming evident, the focus shifts toward negotiation and mediation that acknowledges the region's power dynamics and security needs. The piece suggests establishing a regional peace table aimed at fostering continuous dialogue and transforming adversarial relationships into pragmatic ones based on mutual interest. While the U.S. remains influential, its reliability is questioned by Gulf allies. In contrast, 'middle powers' like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Oman, Qatar, and Egypt are gaining prominence as potential mediators and security partners. The article emphasizes the need for a durable regional security framework that includes Iran and Israel in future discussions, acknowledging that trust-building will take time.
