Abstract

The Middle East region has always been a point of interest for international and regional powers alike, due to its geostrategic, natural, human, political, economic, civil and religious components, which made it the focus of the attention of the greedy major powers and pushed them to compete and conflict with the aim of imposing control and influence on the region. In any way, taking advantage of the changes taking place in the countries of those regions after the year 2011, the so-called Arab Spring revolutions, to fuel and ignite the most important factor of conflicts within the region is the sectarian and religious factor, which has increased dramatically in the region, without any doubt that it will affect in one way or another the conflict management in the region.
