In this engaging session\, we will delve into the shifting landscape of regional confrontations\, moving beyond the traditional Arab-Israeli paradigm to a broader Western versus Iranian blocs confrontation. The recent Israeli military operations against Hamas will be analyzed as a significant milestone in this new reality\, reflecting deeper strategic alignments in the region. \nFurthermore\, we will examine Russia’s expanding interests in the Middle East and the “Global South” through the lens of Jerusalem.

Specifically\, we will analyze the ramifications of the events of February 24\, 2022\, and October 7\, 2023\, on the diplomatic landscape of the Middle East and beyond.
