What is happening today in the Middle East demonstrates how dangerous this region of the planet is by showing the world that at any time it can trigger an armed conflict.
Religious differences remain in the popular classes and there are many religious fanatics. This means that “flammable material” in combination with the appropriate customs is always ready to blow up the region if there are “well-wishers” to use it to achieve personal, internal, geopolitical, or economic ambitions.
The recent crisis in the Middle East has obvious ramifications and has caused discomfort, embarrassment, and concern not only in several Arab regimes in the region but also in the US, EU, respectively.

US President Joe Biden understands that this tension undermines his efforts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran, a development Israel does not want in any way.
So is the EU, which continues to depend on Middle Eastern oil and is always afraid of refugee flows starting from war zones.
At the same time, the governments of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and others are in a difficult position to improve relations with the State of Israel and are trying to move their societies away from extreme Islamism and the Shiite regime of Iran.
Despite Western support for Israel, the West understands with discomfort that current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to consolidate his position in power through this crisis, and on the other hand sees that support for Benjamin Netanyahu has increased too much and is generally heeded by fanatically religious Jews in Israel.
At the same time, if the crisis continues for a long time, fanatical Islamism will be reinforced both in Arab countries and among Muslims living in Europe.
This is what Turkish President Rajip Tayyip Erdogan, who supports Hamas, is trying to exploit by pushing this military/terrorist organisation to steadily declare war on Israel.
In this way he uses extreme anti-Israel rhetoric to bring the masses close to him, but also to appear as a protector-father of Muslims everywhere, to use “as flammable matter” the 35cm. Muslims living in Europe.
The gap between the West and Turkey is widening.
