توازن القوى في الشرق الأوسط بعد طوفان الاقصى
Abstract
The subject of this research attempts to uncover, analyze, and understand the fundamental shifts in the balance of power in the Middle East that occurred or accelerated following the events of "Al-Aqsa Flood" (October 7, 2023), focusing on their potential repercussions on the stability of the region and the future of conflicts and alliances within it. "Al-Aqsa Flood" was not merely a passing military event, but a turning point that restored the balance of power in the Middle East. The active parties relied on their capabilities to reformulate their strategies to deal with these new balances. The "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation also generated varying reactions among countries, while simultaneously accelerating the pace of change in the region and revealing potential geopolitical shifts. Despite the surprise of the Zionist entity, subsequent developments indicate that it exploited the event to promote its expansionist goals with full American support. As we have noted, both Russia and China were pursuing policies different from those of the United States, as they sought to gain the favor of the Arab and Islamic peoples, considering them the core of the ruling regimes in the region, and thus they would influence Arab decision-makers in the future in a way that serves their interests.
