The structure of the modern Arab state cannot be understood without dismantling the role of the external factor, whether positive or negative, in its formulation and formation. The conflict between the major powers played an important role in shaping the modern Middle East.
The external role was influential in the Arab conflicts, especially after the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. The Arab world has become a theater for all international and regional players to intervene in it in order to achieve their interests, not the interests of Arab countries.
