Israel's military actions against Iran and its proxies have significantly reshaped the Middle East. Following the October 2023 Hamas attack, Israel launched a series of strikes, weakening Iran's influence and its network of allies.

Political disputes remain unresolved, particularly the Palestinian issue, hindering progress towards regional peace and potentially jeopardizing nascent diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia.
