Abstract

This study examines the Arab–Israeli conflict and U.S. geo-strategic interests in the Middle East between 2020 and 2025. The study was motivated by the persistent nature of the conflict and the increasing role of the United States in shaping political, military, and diplomatic developments within the region. The objectives of the study were to examine how U.S. geo-strategic interests influenced its policies and actions in the Arab–Israeli conflict and to analyze how U.S. support for Israel affected the dynamics of the conflict between 2020 and 2025. The study adopted the realist theory propounded by Hans Morgenthau in 1948 and later developed by Kenneth Waltz in 1979. An ex-post facto research design was employed, while data were collected through secondary sources. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Findings from the study revealed that U.S. geo-strategic interests significantly shaped its involvement in the Arab– Israeli conflict through diplomatic initiatives such as the Abraham Accords, military cooperation, and regional alliance-building aimed at preserving American influence in the Middle East. The study further found that continuous U.S. support for Israel influence the dynamics of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It therefore recommends that the United States adopt a more balanced diplomatic approach capable of addressing the root causes of the conflict while promoting sustainable peace and regional stability.
