The endless international conflicts are among the most influencing factors on the Middle East region, especially after the end of the Cold War in the nineties of the twentieth century. Therefore, this article attempted to present and analyze the extent of the impact of these conflicts on the factors of stability in that region, while clarifying the roles of the influential international actors in those conflicts. The study concluded that the conflict in its general meaning is a clashing vision between two parties, each party tries to adhere to it and achieve its goals even if it conflicts with the interests of the other party, meaning that the conflict is in reality a process of collision between the two parties, and therefore in most cases the conflict is at its end armed conflict which leads to many victims and losses, which is called war. The Middle East region has been a scene of international and regional conflicts for a long time, and these conflicts have increased with particular force since the 1990s of the twentieth century. Until now, that region has become one of the most tense and unstable regions of the world.
