When today people talk about Yemen, the news almost always feature the same words: war, hunger, destruction, attacks on ships, bombings. But if you look closer and dig a little deeper, it becomes clear: war is just the tip of the iceberg. Yemen has long lived not just outside the 21st century, but somewhere in a parallel reality, where the state as such does not exist, and in its place are tribes, religious leaders, and armed groups.

This article examines the complex and enduring nature of Israel's conflicts with its neighboring states and actors. Based on an analysis of historical events, political declarations, international agreements, and contemporary geopolitical analyses, the article reconstructs the multifaceted reasons behind the persistent state of war and tension. Particular attention is devoted to the foundational ideological and territorial disputes, the impact of the 1967 War, the role of the Palestinian issue, the rise of non-state actors, and the recent resurgence of the "Greater Israel" discourse. The analysis also covers the strained relations with traditional peace partners Egypt and Jordan, as well as the challenges to the Abraham Accords framework in the context of the 2023–2026 war.
