ISRAEL/PALESTINE CONFLICT: FOREIGN PARTICIPATION

QUESTION: What are the interests which move other international countries/actors to get involved in the conflict?   




















There are several interests that move other international actors, especially countries, to get involved in the conflict. Nonetheless, there is one specific and stronger interest among them: the economic rise the area might bring. 

The conflict is geographically located in a fertile area, where petroleum and natural gas might be easily exploited and, as it is evident, both exploitations will bring economic resources to the ones that have the territorial control. It is an economy of war conflict, where many -and huge- actors fight among resources (with a mix-up of religious and political issues) for gaining economic sustain. 

In nowadays world, the desire of power, money, and resource control is the main aspect of most –if not all- the wars the world currently is facing. 

The actors, among others, are strong superpowers, such as the United States of America (World´s most powerful country), Iran, Iraq, Jews, Arabs, extremist groups, NATO, UN, and other huge international organizations.  Unfortunately, the war just begins.
