Abstract

Abstract: Establishing sustainable international peace and security has been and will be one of the long-standing aspirations of mankind. Israel's relations with the Arab world have undergone dramatic changes over the past decades, from hostility and enmity to peace and reconciliation. This transformation has been the result of strengthening the regional and international position of the Zionist regime on the one hand, and weakening the Arab world and the retreat of Arab countries inward in the face of the social and economic problems they face on the other. The main question of the present study is whether the United Nations, considering its main mission, which has been to maintain sustainable international peace and security in the international system, has this mission entered the implementation phase in the Middle East region? It seems that, considering the presence of Israel in the Middle East region and the struggle for power by two different ideologies by the Zionist regime and the axis of resistance, the United Nations has not been able to even plan and implement the preliminaries of sustainable international peace and security. The present study is of an applied type and has been developed with a qualitative method and a descriptive-analytical approach. The purpose of this study is to analyze the ability of the United Nations to establish sustainable peace and security in the unstable Middle East region. The research findings confirm that as long as two opposing ideologies in the Middle East seek to gain power and superiority over the opposing group using different methods, the methods and strategies of the United Nations will not be implemented in this region.
