Proxy Dynamics: Analyzing Iran's Role in the Israel-Hamas Conflict and Impact on Indo-Pacific | |
—Ifrah | |
Abstract | |
Israel has been engaging in collaborative summits with other
island nations in the Pacific region, including the Pacific Islands
Forum. The most recent summit focused on combating climate
change and discussed the potential establishment of diplomatic
relations between Israel and countries like Fiji, Nauru, and Niue.
The strikes by Hamas and Israel's response threaten the
reconciliation process and diplomatic alliances in the Indo-Pacific
region. Around 500 individuals from various backgrounds are
currently stranded between Gaza and Israel, exposing them to
danger. The Israel-Hamas conflict could impact the diplomatic
alliances of other nations in the Indo-Pacific region. Iran's backing
of Hamas may influence the diplomatic response of governments
in the Indo-Pacific, potentially leading to changes in alliances or
foreign policy stances. Continuing conflicts rooted in religious or
ideological differences can fuel radicalization and potentially
affect regional security and stability in the Indo-Pacific. The
Middle East's escalations and instability, including Iran's
engagement in the Israel-Hamas war, could lead to population
displacements and migration, indirectly impacting worldwide
migratory patterns, including moves towards the Indo-Pacific.
