Arab-Israeli Conflict and US Economic and Geo-Strategic Interests in the Middle East

Abstract

During the second half of the 20th century, the United States had a major impact on the Middle East. While the United States has used its authority to protect its national interests in the Middle East, other countries have supported their own national interests in the region. The foreign policy of the United States has had various outcomes, and these have produced new allies and adversaries. This is an inherent part of the United States' conflicting interests in the area. This study will look at the post-Cold War era and recent scenarios of Middle East war. This was the era when the United States had to confront a shifting geopolitical reality in the Middle East, in which the Soviet Union's fading influence was removed. Over the final decade of the 20th century, the United States has pursued a variety of national interests, some more important than others. While, the new era of war between Israel and Palestine will be discussed which impact the world. The goal of this study is to assess the success of post-Cold War U.S. foreign policy initiatives in the Middle East and Arab–Israel conflict in the Middle East. This will be done through looking at U.S. foreign policy actions, namely the National Security Strategy, in the area to protect the country's national interests.
