Can peace in the Middle East ever be achieved?

The future is often hard to predict, especially when it comes to the Middle East situation: depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, peace in the Middle East is possible, but not likely anytime soon. Now let me explain the details.    

First, history has witnessed various factors, such as sectarian conflicts, territorial disputes, and foreign involvement, have triggered countless conflicts in the region. So, settling these complicated issues will need “a deus ex machina”, or a great deal of negotiation, compromise, and mutual understanding among all parties involved.     

Next, the Middle East is a major oil field. That is why many countries have complex and strong interests in the region. So, some parties, such as extremists and the arms industry, benefit from the instability, and work to disrupt peace in the area.            

Therefore, while “Peace in the Middle East” sounds fantastic, we should be skeptical about immediate progress, but need to keep talking with all parties involved to get closer to the ideal. Thank you for your attention. [180 Words Type-O]
