Should the region have slipped into such tension?

RUBA AYYASH

Every time we think the region has reached its maximum of tension!

In conflicts and wars, we discover that borders have longer and farther frontiers than we imagined. It is not new that the Middle East is on the brink of ignition; we used to remain on fire until its people became dull, and they walked in the middle of hell indifferently.

What is new is that the edge itself is no longer clear, and we no longer know where the escalation begins and ends. The red lines that many thought would be untouched have already been touched. Everything that no one expected years ago happened, and the so-called New World Order burned the laws, lines and boundaries from its father’s reel.

Today, there are no forbidden borders, no rules for war, and no legislation regulating relations between all parties. All the attempts built over the decades to respect the sovereignty of states, respect peoples and people, and promote stability, and all the statements that were written and not implemented, have fallen, and there are new rules to play with the title: No borders.

No one admits that they want war, but war is happening, continuing and expanding. No one is saying that he is seeking a major confrontation, but the confrontations are escalating.

After more than two years of escalation after escalation, and the opening of tragic files without closing them, and with all the successive disasters, the question remains: should the region have descended into such tension? Is it for Israel’s security calculations, which see nothing but potential threats in its surroundings?

Or the calculations of Iran, which has based its strategy on expanding its influence and creating defensive depth beyond its borders, and decided in the last round to burn its cards and everyone with it if it is harmed?

Or for the sake of the United States, which wants a world on the scale of its power, legislation, and leadership, and returns at every stage to redraw the lines of power to serve its major priorities, even if those priorities seem vague or changing?
