Impact of Israel's war on Hamas in the Middle East
Israel's war on Hamas is causing a ripple effect across the Middle East. There are concerns that the conflict could expand to involve Hezbollah in Lebanon or Houthi rebels in Yemen, both backed by Iran. The public mood in countries like Jordan, Egypt, and Tehran is tense, with protests expressing anger at the situation in Gaza. This could potentially jeopardize recent diplomatic advances made through the Abraham Accords, as discussions about normalization with Saudi Arabia were ongoing. The broader Middle East is on edge, and the consequences of the war on regional stability are being closely watched.
