Is the MENA region stabilizing or spiralling?

As the Middle East and North Africa enters 2026, the region faces a dynamically changing landscape. 2025 saw the continuation of Israel’s war in Gaza, and the US brokered ceasefire in October, as well as the 12-day war between Iran and Israel. Outbreaks of violent conflict in Libya, Syria, and continued fighting in Yemen also continue to contribute to regional instability. Meanwhile, Gulf states continue to pursue their economic diversification agendas, while balancing security interests. In this event, experts will examine the key political, security, and economic dynamics to watch in MENA in 2026. Speakers will discuss questions such as: Can the US brokered Gaza ceasefire lead to lasting peace and political and reconstruction processes? How likely is further escalation between Israel and Iran, and what could trigger or prevent it in 2026? How is Turkey positioning itself in ongoing conflicts across Syria, Iraq, and Libya, and what are the implications for regional stability? How are Gulf states balancing ambitious economic agendas with regional security and diplomatic pressures? How are Lebanon, Syria and Iraq’s political, security and economic trajectories evolving, and how might these shape their regional roles over the next year?
