The Middle East Torn Apart: Genocide, Disorder, Resistance
Editor's Note
Editor's Note | Winter 2026
This issue records the great historical tension between the chaotic atmosphere into which the Middle East has been pushed by the U.S. and Israel and the stable system that some regional countries, such as Türkiye, seek to establish. The future of the region will be shaped by the outcome of this struggle between those who submit to hegemonic aggression and those who pursue strategic autonomy. We hope this issue will serve as a valuable and thought-provoking resource, offering diverse perspectives to help readers better understand the current dynamics in the Middle East and the possible trajectories that lie ahead.
