It is inaccurate, distorting, even misleading, to call the conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis the “Middle East conflict” or the “Arab Israeli conflict,” especially in this time and day. At a minimum, Middle East includes Palestine, Israel, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and UAE. Other definitions may go further to include Libya, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan, but even if we stick to the smaller set of countries, the usage of this term can be problematic.
Jordan and Egypt had signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994, they maintain diplomatic relations, and even before the peace treaties, relations between the governments of Jordan and Israel had been friendly. As far as Iraq is concerned, it is true that historically, Saddam’s Iraq had been in conflict with Israel, best exemplified in the onslaught of scud missiles in 1991 following the invasion of Kuwait. And about a decade earlier, Israeli air force had bombed Iraqi sites. Iraq had also supported the Palestinian resistance movements financially and politically. But since that time, and especially after 2003, Iraq has been very occupied with its own problems, so there is really no conflict between it and Israel.
