- Abstract
Following the recent Israel-Palestine tensions in October 2023, the Middle East is once again on a potentially combustive path that the region has not witnessed since the 1973 Arab-Israel War. As Israel is intent on eliminating Hamas despite mounting civilian casualties in Gaza, the persistence of the conflict potentially runs the twin risks of ballooning into a wider regional conflagration, with Iranian proxies or the so-called Axis of Resistance waiting in the shadows, and providing opportunities to the Middle Eastern jihadist groups to exploit the conflict for recruitment and narrative wars. Ostensibly, the Israel-Palestine tensions have paused the Arab-Israel normalisation initiated under the Abraham Accords, and overshadowed the enduring trends of violent extremism, state-society tensions and major power interventionism in the Middle East as well as the Saudi-Iran détente midwifed by China.
