ABSTRACT
The evolving geopolitical landscape in West Asia has profound implications for the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict, a longstanding and deeply rooted regional issue that continues to shape international relations. This
study analyzes the shifting political, economic, and strategic dynamics in West Asia, emphasizing how
regional powers and global actors contribute to, and are affected by, the conflict’s persistence and evolution.
It examines the historical factors that have embedded the Israeli-Palestinian dispute within broader
geopolitical trends, such as the role of colonial legacies, the impact of religious and cultural identities, and the
competition among major powers for influence. Against this backdrop, the study explores how the conflict
has become intertwined with the interests and strategies of countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the

dynamics and added new layers to the conflict. This research also assesses the impact of economic corridors
and energy routes on regional stability, as well as the influence of new technologies and cyber warfare, which

within this changing landscape, examining how external interventions and domestic pressures affect the lives
of civilians on both sides. By highlighting the role of international organizations and human rights discourse,
the study considers the international community's role in fostering dialogue and its limitations in achieving a
lasting solution. Finally, this research draws insights from previous peace efforts, proposing pathways to re-
