Features: The Middle East is located at the intersection of three continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe—and holds a strategically vital position. Due to its extremely abundant oil and natural gas resources, as well as the intricate historical, ethnic, religious, and territorial conflicts, compounded by external interference and involvement, the situation in the Middle East has been complex, turbulent, and volatile since World War II. It has consistently been one of the world's most prominent hotspots. In just the recent decade or so, the Middle East has witnessed a series of major events, including the Gulf War, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War. To this day, the Middle East remains unstable and enigmatic, capturing the attention of the world. This book provides great convenience for professionals engaged in teaching and researching international issues, as well as high reference value for those working in journalism, foreign affairs, foreign trade and economic cooperation, and readers interested in Middle Eastern issues.
