The growing influence of the regional powers has a twofold effect on the situation in the Middle East.
On one hand, intense animosities between regional powers create an atmosphere of alarmism with regard to other states. Rival states view each other as existential threats, destroying mutual trust and all but eliminating opportunities for compromise. At the same time, a sense of their own weakness forces those states to seek outside support.
On the other hand, an excessive degree of foreign policy activity in 2016 had a negative impact on the domestic political situation in some countries, threatening to destabilize them. They were on the verge of war on several occasions. This indicated the existence of a “red line”, but did not yet lead to an understanding of the need to search for common ground.
At the same time, it is necessary to begin the long-term process of strengthening regional players. Peace initiatives can only succeed if they participate, and regional alliances – for all their fluidity and mutability – remain the only possible means for rebuilding the region.
