Recent escalations between Iran and Israel have heightened tensions in the Middle East, with concerns over the potential for a broader conflict involving Hezbollah. Experts emphasize the need for de-escalation and establishing principles of co-existence to prevent further hostilities. The conflict has raised uncertainty in the region, particularly regarding commercial ambitions and nuclear programs. Arab states are seen as key mediators to prevent future confrontations and mitigate damages.
"As tensions between Israel and Iran have moved away from their traditional proxy nature and manifested as direct strikes against each other’s territories," the urgency of finding a non-military solution to the Iranian nuclear issue has increased. https://t.co/WlsgwcyJ63
